32.Sh NAME
33.Nm dwarf_set_reloc_application
34.Nd set a library-wide relocation flag
35.Sh LIBRARY
36.Lb libdwarf
37.Sh SYNOPSIS
38.In libdwarf.h
39.Ft int
40.Fo dwarf_set_reloc_application
41.Fa "int apply"

43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44Function
45.Fn dwarf_set_reloc_application
46allows applications to specify how relocation information is to be
47handled by the DWARF(3) library.
48.Pp
49If the argument
50.Ar apply
51holds a non-zero value, the library will process all the relevant
52.Dq ".rela"
53relocation sections and will apply the relocation records found to
54their corresponding DWARF sections.
55.Pp
56If the argument
57.Ar apply
58is zero, the library will not attempt to apply any relocations.
59.Pp
60The default behaviour of the library is to process relocation records.
61.Sh NOTES
62Function
63.Fn dwarf_set_reloc_application
64should be called before initialising a dwarf debugging context, i.e,
65it should be called by the application before calling either of the
66functions
67.Xr dwarf_init 3
68or
69.Xr dwarf_elf_init 3 .
70.Sh RETURN VALUES
71Function
72.Fn dwarf_set_reloc_application
73returns the previous value of the library-wide relocation application
74flag.
75.Sh ERRORS
76Function
77.Fn dwarf_set_reloc_application
78does not return an error.
