# SYNOPSIS

`#include <libdwarf.h>`

Dwarf_P_Attribute
`dwarf_add_AT_name`(Dwarf_P_Die die, char *name, Dwarf_Error *err);

# DESCRIPTION

Function `dwarf_add_AT_name`() creates a `DW_AT_name` attribute descriptor and attaches it to the debugging information entry referenced by argument die. The created attribute will have DWARF form `DW_FORM_strp`.

Argument die should reference a debugging information entry allocated using dwarf_new_die(3).

Argument name should point to a NUL-terminated string which will become the value of the created attribute.

If argument err is not NULL, it will be used to store error information in case of an error.

# RETURN VALUES

On success, function `dwarf_add_AT_name`() returns the created attribute descriptor. In case of an error, function `dwarf_add_AT_name`() returns `DW_DLV_BADADDR` and sets the argument err.

# ERRORS

Function `dwarf_add_AT_name`() can fail with:

[`DW_DLE_ARGUMENT`]
  One of the arguments die or name was NULL.
[`DW_DLE_MEMORY`]
  An out of memory condition was encountered during the execution of this function.
