As far as I know there is no formal documentation available for dwfl_xxxx functions apart from 'elfutils/libdwfl/libdwfl.h' from elfutils sources. In fact the elfutils itself lacks the Documentation part for most of it's APIs. I used 'elfutils/libdwfl/libdwfl.h' from elfutils sources as a reference which has neat explanation for each dwfl_xxx() functions. Apart from libdwfl.h I also used to go through actual function implementations available under elfutils sources. Thanks, -Mahesh.
