Doc Type: Deprecated Functionality
Doc Text:
.`libdwarf` has been deprecated The `libdwarf` library has been deprecated in RHEL 8. The library will likely not be supported in future major releases. Instead, use the `elfutils` and `libdw` libraries for applications that wish to process ELF/DWARF files. Alternatives for the `libdwarf-tools` `dwarfdump` program are the `binutils` `readelf` program or the `elfutils` `eu-readelf` program, both used by passing the `--debug-dump` flag.

Hi Lucie,

Hi Jacob,

> Mark, does the new text look good to you?

The text looks good, but it contains two typos:

libdrwarf -> libdwarf (2x)
'dwarf dump' is one word/program name 'dwarfdump' without a space.

Thanks for the response! Fixed now. I'll refer this to one of our docs colleagues for a quick peer-review before setting RDT flag to +
