.Os
.Dt DWARF_FINISH 3
.Sh NAME
.Nm dwarf_finish ,
.Nm dwarf_object_finish
.Nd free resources associated with a debug descriptor
.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libdwarf
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In libdwarf.h
.Ft int
.Fn dwarf_finish "Dwarf_Debug dbg" "Dwarf_Error *err"
.Ft int
.Fn dwarf_object_finish "Dwarf_Debug dbg" "Dwarf_Error *err"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn dwarf_finish
and
.Fn dwarf_object_finish
functions are used to release the resources associated with a debug
descriptor allocated by a prior call to
.Xr dwarf_init 3
and
.Xr dwarf_object_init 3
respectively.
.Pp
Argument
.Ar dbg
denotes a valid
.Vt Dwarf_Debug
instance.
Argument
.Ar err
will be used to record error information in case of an error.
.Pp
After a call to
.Fn dwarf_finish
or
.Fn dwarf_object_finish ,
the argument
.Ar dbg
will be invalid and should not be used further.
.Pp
For
.Vt Dwarf_Debug
descriptors opened using
.Xr dwarf_init 3 ,
the application would need to explicitly release the
.Vt Elf
instance associated with the descriptor by first retrieving
the instance using
.Xr dwarf_get_elf 3
and closing it using
.Xr elf_end 3 .
.Sh RETURN VALUES
These functions return
.Dv DW_DLV_OK
if successful.
In case of an error, the functions return
.Dv DW_DLV_ERROR
and record additional information in argument
.Ar err .
.Sh EXAMPLES
To deallocate a
.Vt Dwarf_Debug
instance allocated using
.Xr dwarf_elf_init 3
use:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
Dwarf_Debug dbg;
Dwarf_Error de;
if (dwarf_finish(dbg, &de) != DW_DLV_OK)
errx(EXIT_FAILURE, "dwarf_finish: %s", dwarf_errmsg(de));
.Ed
.Pp
To deallocate a
.Vt Dwarf_Debug
instance allocated using
.Xr dwarf_object_init 3
use:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
Dwarf_Debug dbg;
Dwarf_Error de;
if (dwarf_object_finish(dbg, &de) != DW_DLV_OK)
errx(EXIT_FAILURE, "dwarf_object_finish: %s",
dwarf_errmsg(de));

.Pp
To deallocate a
.Vt Dwarf_Debug
instance allocated using
.Xr dwarf_init 3
use:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
Dwarf_Debug dbg;
Dward_Error de;
Elf *e;
if (dwarf_get_elf(dbg, &e, &de) != DW_DLV_OK)
errx(EXIT_FAILURE, "dwarf_get_elf: %s", dwarf_errmsg(&de));
if (dwarf_finish(dbg, &de) != DW_DLV_OK)
errx(EXIT_FAILURE, "dwarf_finish: %s", dwarf_errmsg(de));
