50.Sh DESCRIPTION
51Function
52.Fn dwarf_add_line_entry
53adds a line number information entry to a DWARF producer instance.
54.Pp
55Argument
56.Ar dbg
57should reference a DWARF producer instance allocated using
58.Xr dwarf_producer_init 3
59or
60.Xr dwarf_producer_init_b 3 .
61.Pp
62Argument
63.Ar filendx
64specifies the index of the source file that contains the source line
65in question.
66Valid source file indices are those returned by the function
67.Xr dwarf_add_file_decl 3 .
68.Pp
69Argument
70.Ar off
71specifies a relocatable program address. The ELF symbol to be used
72for relocation is set by a prior call to the function
73.Xr dwarf_lne_set_address 3 .
74.Pp
75Argument
76.Ar lineno
77specifies the line number of the source line.
78.Pp
79Argument
80.Ar column
81specifies the column number within the source line.
82.Pp
83If the argument
84.Ar is_stmt
85is set to true, it indicates that the instruction at the address
86specified by argument
87.Ar off
88is a recommended breakpoint location, i.e., the first instruction in
89the instruction sequence generated by the source line.
90.Pp
91If the argument
92.Ar basic_block
93is set to true, it indicates that the instruction at the address
94specified by argument
95.Ar off
96is the first instruction of a basic block.
97.Pp
98If argument
99.Ar err
100is not NULL, it will be used to store error information in case
101of an error.
102.Sh RETURN VALUES
103On success, function
104.Fn dwarf_add_line_entry
105returns
106.Dv DW_DLV_OK .
107In case of an error, function
108.Fn dwarf_add_line_entry
109returns
110.Dv DW_DLV_NOCOUNT
111and sets the argument
112.Ar err .
113.Sh ERRORS
114Function
115.Fn dwarf_add_line_entry
116can fail with:
117.Bl -tag -width ".Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT"
118.It Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT
119Argument
120.Ar dbg
121was NULL.
122.It Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT
123The function
124.Xr dwarf_lne_set_address 3
125was not called before calling this function.
126.It Bq Er DW_DLE_MEMORY
127An out of memory condition was encountered during the execution of the
128function.
129.El
130.Sh EXAMPLE
131To add line number information to the producer instance, use:
132.Bd -literal -offset indent
133Dwarf_P_Debug dbg;
134Dwarf_Error de;
135Dwarf_Unsigned dir, filendx;
136
137/* ... assume dbg refers to a DWARF producer instance ... */
138
139dir = dwarf_add_directory_decl(dbg, "/home/foo", &de);
140if (dir == DW_DLV_NOCOUNT)
141	errx(EXIT_FAILURE, "dwarf_add_directory_decl failed: %s",
142	    dwarf_errmsg(-1));
143
144filendx = dwarf_add_file_decl(dbg, "bar.c", dir, 0, 1234, &de);
145if (filendx == DW_DLV_NOCOUNT)
146	errx(EXIT_FAILURE, "dwarf_add_file_decl failed: %s",
147	    dwarf_errmsg(-1));
148
149if (dwarf_lne_set_address(dbg, 0x4012b0, 12, &de) != DW_DLV_OK)
150	errx(EXIT_FAILURE, "dwarf_lne_set_address failed: %s",
151	    dwarf_errmsg(-1));
152
153if (dwarf_add_line_entry(dbg, filendx, 10, 258, 0, 1, 1, &de) !=
154    DW_DLV_OK)
155	errx(EXIT_FAILURE, "dwarf_add_line_entry failed: %s",
156	    dwarf_errmsg(-1));
