Package dwarf provides access to DWARF debugging information loaded from
executable files, as defined in the DWARF 2.0 Standard at
http://dwarfstd.org/doc/dwarf-2.0.0.pdf.

# Security

This package is not designed to be hardened against adversarial inputs, and is
outside the scope of https://go.dev/security/policy. In particular, only basic
validation is done when parsing object files. As such, care should be taken when
parsing untrusted inputs, as parsing malformed files may consume significant
resources, or cause panics.
