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