45.Sh DESCRIPTION
46Function
47.Fn dwarf_add_AT_flag
48creates an attribute descriptor belonging to the
49.Sq flag
50class, and attaches it to the debugging information entry referenced
51by argument
52.Ar die .
53The created attribute descriptor will have DWARF form
54.Dv DW_FORM_flag .
55.Pp
56Argument
57.Ar dbg
58should reference a DWARF producer instance allocated using
59.Xr dwarf_producer_init 3
60or
61.Xr dwarf_producer_init_b 3 .
62.Pp
63Argument
64.Ar die
65should reference a debugging information entry allocated using
66.Xr dwarf_new_die 3 .
67.Pp
68Argument
69.Ar attr
70should specify the attribute code for the new attribute descriptor.
71.Pp
72Argument
73.Ar flag
74should specify the value of the new attribute descriptor.
75A zero value is treated as
76.Sq false
77and a non-zero value as
78.Sq true .
79.Pp
80If argument
81.Ar err
82is not NULL, it will be used to store error information in case of an
83error.
84.Sh RETURN VALUES
85On success, function
86.Fn dwarf_add_AT_flag
87returns the created attribute descriptor.
88In case of an error, function
89.Fn dwarf_add_AT_flag
90returns
91.Dv DW_DLV_BADADDR
92and sets the argument
93.Ar err .
94.Sh ERRORS
95Function
96.Fn dwarf_add_AT_flag
