.Sh NAME
.Nm dwarf_add_line_entry
.Nd add a line number information entry to a producer instance
.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libdwarf
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In libdwarf.h
.Ft "Dwarf_Unsigned"
.Fo dwarf_add_line_entry
.Fa "Dwarf_P_Debug dbg"
.Fa "Dwarf_Unsigned filendx"
.Fa "Dwarf_Addr off"
.Fa "Dwarf_Unsigned lineno"

.Fa "Dwarf_Bool basic_block"
.Fa "Dwarf_Error *err"
.Fc
.Sh DESCRIPTION
Function
.Fn dwarf_add_line_entry
adds a line number information entry to a DWARF producer instance.
.Pp
Argument
.Fa dbg
should reference a DWARF producer instance allocated using
.Xr dwarf_producer_init 3
or
.Xr dwarf_producer_init_b 3 .
.Pp
Argument
.Fa filendx
specifies the index of the source file that contains the source line
in question.
Valid source file indices are those returned by the function
.Xr dwarf_add_file_decl 3 .
.Pp
Argument
.Fa off
specifies a relocatable program address.
The ELF symbol to be used
for relocation is set by a prior call to the function
.Xr dwarf_lne_set_address 3 .
.Pp
Argument
.Fa lineno
specifies the line number of the source line.
.Pp
Argument
.Fa column
specifies the column number within the source line.
.Pp
If the argument
.Fa is_stmt
is set to true, it indicates that the instruction at the address
specified by argument
.Fa off
is a recommended breakpoint location, i.e., the first instruction in
the instruction sequence generated by the source line.
.Pp
If the argument
.Fa basic_block
is set to true, it indicates that the instruction at the address
specified by argument
.Fa off
is the first instruction of a basic block.
.Pp
If argument
.Fa err
is not
.Dv NULL ,
it will be used to store error information in case of an error.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
On success, function
.Fn dwarf_add_line_entry
returns
.Dv DW_DLV_OK .
In case of an error, function
.Fn dwarf_add_line_entry
returns
.Dv DW_DLV_NOCOUNT
and sets the argument
.Fa err .
.Sh EXAMPLES
To add line number information to the producer instance, use:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
Dwarf_P_Debug dbg;
Dwarf_Error de;
Dwarf_Unsigned dir, filendx;

/* ... assume dbg refers to a DWARF producer instance ... */

dir = dwarf_add_directory_decl(dbg, "/home/foo", &de);
if (dir == DW_DLV_NOCOUNT)
	errx(EXIT_FAILURE, "dwarf_add_directory_decl failed: %s",
	    dwarf_errmsg(-1));

filendx = dwarf_add_file_decl(dbg, "bar.c", dir, 0, 1234, &de);
if (filendx == DW_DLV_NOCOUNT)
	errx(EXIT_FAILURE, "dwarf_add_file_decl failed: %s",
	    dwarf_errmsg(-1));

if (dwarf_lne_set_address(dbg, 0x4012b0, 12, &de) != DW_DLV_OK)
	errx(EXIT_FAILURE, "dwarf_lne_set_address failed: %s",
	    dwarf_errmsg(-1));

if (dwarf_add_line_entry(dbg, filendx, 10, 258, 0, 1, 1, &de) !=
    DW_DLV_OK)
	errx(EXIT_FAILURE, "dwarf_add_line_entry failed: %s",
	    dwarf_errmsg(-1));
