YASM_DBGFMTS(7) 					   Yasm Supported Debug Formats 					   YASM_DBGFMTS(7)

NAME

       yasm_dbgfmts - Yasm Supported Debugging Formats

SYNOPSIS

       yasm -g dbgfmt ...

DESCRIPTION

       The standard Yasm distribution includes a number of modules for different debugging formats. The debugging information is embedded into the
       object file. Use of a non-"null" debug format also causes Yasm to output all symbols to the object file (including local symbols).

       The debug format is selected on the yasm(1) command line by use of the -g dbgfmt command line option.

CV8
       The CV8 debug format is used by Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 (version 8.0) and is completely undocumented, although it bears strong
       similarities to earlier CodeView formats. Yasm's support for the CV8 debug format is currently limited to generating assembly-level line
       number information (to allow some level of source-level debugging). The CV8 debug information is stored in the .debug$S and .debug$T
       sections of the Win64 object file.

DWARF2
       The DWARF 2 debug format is a complex, well-documented standard for debugging information. It was created to overcome shortcomings in
       STABS, allowing for much more detailed and compact descriptions of data structures, data variable movement, and complex language structures
       such as in C++. The debugging information is stored in sections (just like normal program sections) in the object file. Yasm supports full
       pass-through of DWARF2 debugging information (e.g. from a C++ compiler), and can also generate assembly-level line number information.

NULL

       The "null" debug format is a placeholder; it adds no debugging information to the output file.

STABS

       The STABS debug format is a poorly documented, semi-standard format for debugging information in COFF and ELF object files. The debugging
       information is stored as part of the object file's symbol table and thus is limited in complexity and scope. Despite this, STABS is a
       common debugging format on older Unix and compatible systems, as well as DJGPP.

NAME

       debug -

       Print out debugging information about the handler chain being called.

   Functions
       netsnmp_mib_handler * netsnmp_get_debug_handler (void)
	   returns a debug handler that can be injected into a given handler chain.
       void debug_print_requests (netsnmp_request_info *requests)
       int netsnmp_debug_helper (netsnmp_mib_handler *handler, netsnmp_handler_registration *reginfo, netsnmp_agent_request_info *reqinfo,
	   netsnmp_request_info *requests)
       void netsnmp_init_debug_helper (void)
	   initializes the debug helper which then registers a debug handler as a run-time injectable handler for configuration file use.

Detailed Description
       Print out debugging information about the handler chain being called.

       This is a useful module for run-time debugging of requests as the pass this handler in a calling chain. All debugging output is done via
       the standard debugging routines with a token name of 'helper:debug', so use the -Dhelper:debug command line flag to see the output when
       running the snmpd demon. It's not recommended you compile this into a handler chain during compile time, but instead use the
       'injectHandler' token in the snmpd.conf file (or similar) to add it to the chain later:

       injectHandler debug my_module_name

       to see an example output, try:

       injectHandler debug mibII/system

       and then run snmpwalk on the 'system' group.
