These files contain DWARF debug information that has been stripped from the original binary and + placed into a separate file (typically to save space). These external files can be found using + information embedded in the original binary's ".gnu_debuglink" section (a filename and crc32) and/or + ".note.gnu.build-id" section (a hash value).
+ +Use the ExtractELFDebugFilesScript to pull external debug files from pre-packaged install + files, typically provided by Linux / BSD distributions, for later consumption by Ghidra.
+ +++ + +DWARF External Debug Config
+ +++Allows the user to pick a directory where Ghidra will search for DWARF external debug files.
+Ghidra will search for external debug files under the selected directory + as ".build-id/NN/hexhash.debug" if build-id information is available, falling back to trying + the debuglink filename in any subdirectory, and lastly in the original binary's import location.
