There are two other places you could look:

1. The original SGI/GPL libdwarf project.   Elftoolchain's libdwarf is a
    re-implementation of that API.

    http://www.prevanders.net/dwarf.html

2. The DWARF specification itself, available at http://www.dwarfstd.org/.

I'm also CC'ing Kai Wang -- the primary author of Elftoolchain's libdwarf.

Ticket #453 has been created to track documentation holes in libdwarf's
manual pages.
