# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. # Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and # the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. # You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| pahole: pahole (debugging format utilities) pahole: pahole: pahole shows data structure layouts encoded in debugging information pahole: formats with DWARF, CTF, and BTF being supported. pahole: pahole: This is useful for, among other things: optimizing important data pahole: structures by reducing their size, figuring out what is the field pahole: sitting at an offset from the start of a data structure, investigating pahole: ABI changes and more generally understanding a new codebase you have pahole: to work with. pahole:
