BinaryNinja - DWARF Plugin¶

Export as DWARF¶

BinaryNinja builtin plugin

Binary Ninja already embeds a DWARF export plugin that exposes most of the functionalities provided by this plugin. However, this plugin exports additional information, such as stack variables and basic blocks.

To export DWARF information from a BinaryNinja’s BinaryView representation, one can go in the menu: Plugins > LIEF > Export as DWARF

Support & Limitations¶

This extension tries to convert most of the information registered in a BinaryView into DWARF structures, but this support can’t be exhaustive so here is an overview of what is exported and what is not.
