# zig-dwarfdump

`dwarfdump` utility but in Zig.

### Why?

Turns out the best way of learning a new file/data format is to write a parser yourself, and so here we are.
Perhaps in the future we will be able to use this project as a full substitute for `llvm-dwarfdump`, but time
will tell.

### Usage

```
$ zig-dwarfdump --help
Usage: zig-dwarfdump [options] file

General options:
--debug-info          Display .debug_info section contents (default)
--eh-frame            Display .eh_frame section contents
--llvm-compatibility  Output is formatted exactly like llvm-dwarfdump, with no extra information
--all, -a             Display all debug info sections
--help                Display this help and exit

```

### Example usage (MachO)

```
$ zig-dwarfdump main.o
