31.Sh NAME
32.Nm dwarf_srclines
33.Nd retrieve line number information for a debugging information entry
34.Sh LIBRARY
35.Lb libdwarf
36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.In libdwarf.h
38.Ft int
39.Fo dwarf_srclines
40.Fa "Dwarf_Die die"
41.Fa "Dwarf_Line **lines"

44.Fc
45.Sh DESCRIPTION
46Function
47.Fn dwarf_srclines
48returns line number information associated with a compilation unit.
49Line number information is returned as an array of
50.Vt Dwarf_Line
51descriptors.
52.Pp
53Argument
54.Ar die
55should reference a DWARF debugging information entry descriptor
56with line number information, see
57.Xr dwarf 3 .
58Argument
59.Ar lines
60should point to a location that will hold a pointer to the returned array
61of
62.Vt Dwarf_Line
63descriptors.
64Argument
65.Ar nlines
66should point to a location that will hold the number of descriptors
67returned.
68If argument
69.Ar err
70is not NULL, it will be used to store error information in case of an
71error.
72.Pp
73The returned
74.Vt Dwarf_Line
75descriptors may be passed to the other line number functions in the
76API set to retrieve specific information about each source line.
77.Ss Memory Management
78The memory area used for the array of
79.Vt Dwarf_Line
80descriptors returned in argument
81.Ar lines
82is owned by the
83.Lb libdwarf .
84The application should not attempt to free this pointer.
85Portable code should instead use
86.Fn dwarf_srclines_dealloc
87to indicate that the memory may be freed.
88.Sh RETURN VALUES
89Function
90.Fn dwarf_srclines
91returns
92.Dv DW_DLV_OK
93when it succeeds.
94In case of an error, it returns
95.Dv DW_DLV_ERROR
96and sets the argument
97.Ar err .
98.Sh ERRORS
99Function
100.Fn dwarf_srclines
101can fail with:
102.Bl -tag -width ".Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT"
103.It Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT
104One of the arguments
105.Ar die ,
106.Ar lines
107or
108.Ar nlines
109was NULL.
110.It Bq Er DW_DLE_NO_ENTRY
111The compilation unit referenced by argument
112.Ar die
113does not have associated line number information.
114.It Bq Er DW_DLE_MEMORY
115An out of memory condition was encountered during the execution of
116this function.
117.El
118.Sh EXAMPLE
119To obtain an array of
120.Vt Dwarf_Line
121descriptors and to retrieve the source file, line number, and virtual address
122associated with each descriptor:
123.Bd -literal -offset indent
124int n;
125Dwarf_Die die;
126Dwarf_Error de;
127char *filename;
128Dwarf_Line *lines;
129Dwarf_Signed nlines;
130Dwarf_Addr lineaddr;
131Dwarf_Unsigned lineno;
132
133/* variable "die" should reference a DIE for a compilation unit */
134
135if (dwarf_srclines(die, &lines, &nlines, &de) != DW_DLV_OK)
136	errx(EXIT_FAILURE, "dwarf_srclines: %s", dwarf_errmsg(de));
137
138for (n = 0; n < nlines; n++) {
139	/* Retrieve the file name for this descriptor. */
140	if (dwarf_linesrc(lines[n], &filename, &de))
141		errx(EXIT_FAILURE, "dwarf_linesrc: %s",
142		    dwarf_errmsg(de));
143
144	/* Retrieve the line number in the source file. */
145	if (dwarf_lineno(lines[n], &lineno, &de))
146		errx(EXIT_FAILURE, "dwarf_lineno: %s",
147		    dwarf_errmsg(de));
148	/* Retrieve the virtual address for this line. */
149	if (dwarf_lineaddr(lines[n], &lineaddr, &de))
150		errx(EXIT_FAILURE, "dwarf_lineaddr: %s",
151		    dwarf_errmsg(de));
152	}
