    Source position: exeinfo.pp line 61

    function ReadDebugLink(var e: TExeFile; var dbgfn: ansistring) : Boolean
                      ;  overload; overload;

    Description

    ReadDebugLink examines the .gnu_debuglink section to see if the debug information is stored in an external file. If so, then the name of the file with the debug information is returned in the dbgfn parameter.

    The function returns false if there is no external debug information file, or if the file with debug information does not exist. It is searched next to the binary file or in the current directory.
