## dwz-0.16p2 – DWARF optimization and duplicate removal tool

## Description

    dwz is a program that attempts to optimize DWARF debugging information
    contained in ELF shared libraries and ELF executables for size, by
    replacing DWARF information representation with equivalent smaller
    representation where possible and by reducing the amount of duplication
    using techniques from DWARF standard appendix E - creating
    DW_TAG_partial_unit compilation units (CUs) for duplicated information
    and using DW_TAG_imported_unit to import it into each CU that needs it.
