.Sq string
class and attaches it to the debugging information entry referenced by
argument
.Ar die .
The created attribute descriptor will have DWARF form
.Dv DW_FORM_strp .

.Xr dwarf_producer_init 3
or
.Xr dwarf_producer_init_b 3 .
.Pp
Argument
.Ar die
should reference a debugging information entry allocated using
.Xr dwarf_new_die 3 .
.Pp
Argument
.Ar attr
should specify the attribute code for the created attribute
descriptor.
.Pp
Argument
.Ar str
should hold a pointer to a NUL-terminated string which will become the
value of the created attribute descriptor.

If argument
.Ar err
is not NULL, it will be used to store error information in case of an
error.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
On success, function
.Fn dwarf_add_AT_string
returns the created attribute descriptor.
In case of an error, function
.Fn dwarf_add_AT_string
returns
.Dv DW_DLV_BADADDR
and sets the argument
.Ar err .
.Sh ERRORS
