Hi elfutils-devel@,
I've been working on adding debuginfod support to various LLVM utilities,
while simultaneously setting up production use of debuginfod for a managed
developer environment.
One issue that keeps cropping up is that there's often quite a few places
to get debug files from locally

Please note that $DEBUGINFOD_URLS can already include file:// URLs
that identify local filesystems whose direct

Yes, a copy is made. This is "
In elfutils, the libdwfl library is responsible for the "library for
obtaining debug info writ large" stuff. It provides API parsers
for command-line arguments that mesh with its library stuff like
Dwfl_Callbacks that set the search path used equivalently to GDB's `set
debug-file-directory` path.
