# Method Debug.describe_program()

Method describe_program

  `array(array(int|string|type(mixed))) describe_program(program p)`

Description

  Debug function for showing the symbol table of a program.

Returns

  Returns an array of arrays with the following information for each symbol in p :

  Array
  `int modifiers` | Bitfield with the modifiers for the symbol.
  `string symbol_name` | Name of the symbol.
  `type(mixed) value_type` | Value type for the symbol.
  `int symbol_type` | Type of symbol.
  `int symbol_offset` | Offset into the code or data area for the symbol.
  `int inherit_offset` | Offset in the inherit table to the inherit containing the symbol.
  `int inherit_level` | Depth in the inherit tree for the inherit containing the symbol.

Note

  The API for this function is not fixed, and has changed since Pike 7.6. In particular it would make sense to return an array of objects instead, and more information about the symbols might be added.
