50.Sh DESCRIPTION
51Function
52.Fn dwarf_get_loclist_entry
53retrieves a location list entry from the DWARF section
54.Dq ".debug_loc" .
55.Pp
56Argument
57.Ar dbg
58should reference a DWARF debug context allocated using
59.Xr dwarf_init 3 .
60.Pp
61Argument
62.Ar offset
63is an offset, relative to the
64.Dq ".debug_loc"
65section, to the start of the desired location list entry.
66.Pp
67Argument
68.Ar hipc
69should point to a location which will hold the offset, relative to the
70base address of the location list entry, of the highest program
71counter value for the entry.
72.Pp
73Argument
74.Ar lowpc
75should point to a location which will hold the offset, relative to the
76base address of the location list entry, of the lowest program counter
77value for the entry.
78.Pp
79Argument
80.Ar data
81should point to a location which will be set to a pointer to the location
82list data.
83.Pp
84Argument
85.Ar entry_len
86should point to a location which will hold the length in bytes of the
87location list data returned in argument
88.Ar data .
89.Pp
90Argument
91.Ar next_entry
92should point to a location which will hold the offset of the next
93location list entry.
94.Pp
95If argument
96.Ar err
97is not NULL, it will be used to store error information in case
98of an error.
99.Sh RETURN VALUES
100Function
101.Fn dwarf_get_loclist_entry
102returns
103.Dv DW_DLV_OK
104when it succeeds.
105It returns
106.Dv DW_DLV_NO_ENTRY
107if there is no location list at the specified offset
108.Ar offset .
109In case of an error, it returns
110.Dv DW_DLV_ERROR
111and sets the argument
112.Ar err .
113.Sh ERRORS
114Function
115.Fn dwarf_get_loclist_entry
116can fail with:
117.Bl -tag -width ".Bq Er DW_DLE_NO_ENTRY"
118.It Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT
119One of the arguments
120.Ar dbg ,
121.Ar hipc ,
122.Ar lopc ,
123.Ar data ,
124.Ar entry_len
125or
126.Ar next_entry
127was NULL.
128.It Bq Er DW_DLE_NO_ENTRY
129There is no location list at the specified offset
130.Ar offset .
131.El
132.Sh EXAMPLE
133To iterate through all the location list entries in the
134.Dq ".debug_loc"
135section, use:
136.Bd -literal -offset indent
137Dwarf_Debug dbg;
138Dwarf_Unsigned off, len, next;
139Dwarf_Addr hipc, lopc;
140Dwarf_Ptr data;
141Dwarf_Error de;
142int ret;
143
144off = 0;
145while ((ret = dwarf_get_loclist_entry(dbg, off, &hipc, &lopc, &data,
146    &len, &next, &de)) == DW_DLV_OK) {
147	/* ... use loclist entry ... */
148	off = next;
149}
150if (ret == DW_DLV_ERROR)
151	warnx("dwarf_get_loclist_entry failed: %s", dwarf_errmsg(de));
