## [Export as DWARF](<https://lief.re/doc/latest/plugins/binaryninja/dwarf/index.html#export-as-dwarf>)

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

To export DWARF information from a BinaryNinja `BinaryView` representation, use the menu: `Plugins > LIEF > Export as DWARF`
