Below is the an excerpt from an ELF binary's function:

.text:080497C4
.text:080497C4 var_424         = dword ptr -424h
.text:080497C4 var_420         = dword ptr -420h
.text:080497C4 var_41C         = dword ptr -41Ch
.text:080497C4 var_418         = byte ptr -418h
.text:080497C4 var_C           = dword ptr -0Ch
.text:080497C4 arg_0           = dword ptr 8

I know that this function has only one arguement that is passed to it. How would I determine what type (char, int) of
variable is being passed to it. Also what does the 'var_4XX' mean at the beginning of the funtion. I know that this is something specific to IDA, but I can't decipher it. Thanks.
