45.Sh DESCRIPTION
46Function
47.Fn dwarf_add_AT_string
48creates an attribute descriptor belonging to the
49.Sq string
50class and attaches it to the debugging information entry referenced by
51argument
52.Ar die .
53The created attribute descriptor will have DWARF form
54.Dv DW_FORM_strp .
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 created attribute
71descriptor.
72.Pp
73Argument
74.Ar str
75should hold a pointer to a NUL-terminated string which will become the
76value of the created attribute descriptor.
77.Pp
78If argument
79.Ar err
80is not NULL, it will be used to store error information in case of an
81error.
82.Sh RETURN VALUES
83On success, function
84.Fn dwarf_add_AT_string
85returns the created attribute descriptor.
86In case of an error, function
87.Fn dwarf_add_AT_string
88returns
89.Dv DW_DLV_BADADDR
90and sets the argument
91.Ar err .
92.Sh ERRORS
