.Sh DESCRIPTION
These functions are used to retrieve offsets for DWARF debugging
information entries.
.Pp
Function
.Fn dwarf_die_CU_offset
returns the offset of the debugging information entry referenced by
argument
.Fa die
relative to the start of its containing compilation unit.
Argument
.Fa ret_offset
should point to the location that is to hold the returned offset.
If argument
.Fa err
is
.No non- Ns Dv NULL ,
it will be used to return an error descriptor in case of an error.
.Pp
Function
.Fn dwarf_die_CU_offset_range
returns the section-relative offset and length of the compilation unit
containing the debugging information entry referenced by argument
.Fa die .
Argument
.Fa cu_offset
should point to a location that will hold the returned offset.
Argument
.Fa cu_length
should point to a location that will hold the returned length of the
compilation unit.
If argument
.Fa err
is
.No non- Ns Dv NULL ,
it will be used to return an error descriptor in case of an error.
.Pp
Function
.Fn dwarf_dieoffset
retrieves the section-relative offset of the debugging information
entry referenced by argument
.Fa die .
Argument
.Fa ret_offset
should point to a location that is to hold the returned
section-relative offset.
If argument
.Fa err
is
.No non- Ns Dv NULL ,
it will be used to return an error descriptor in case of an error.
.Pp
Function
.Fn dwarf_get_cu_die_offset_given_cu_header_offset
returns the offset for the first debugging information entry for a
compilation unit, given an offset to the header of the compilation
unit.
Argument
.Fa dbg
should reference a valid debugging context allocated using
.Xr dwarf_init 3 .
Argument
.Fa in_cu_header_offset
contains the offset to the start of a compilation unit.
Argument
.Fa out_cu_die_offset
points to a location that will hold the returned offset.
If argument
.Fa err
is
.No non- Ns Dv NULL ,
it will be used to return an error descriptor in case of an error.
.Pp
Function
.Fn dwarf_get_cu_die_offset_given_cu_header_offset_b
behaves identically to the function
.Fn dwarf_get_cu_die_offset_given_cu_header_offset
when the argument
.Fa is_info
is non-zero.
When the argument
.Fa is_info
is zero, function
.Fn dwarf_get_cu_die_offset_given_cu_header_offset_b
returns the offset for the first debugging information entry for a
type unit, given an offset to the header of the type unit in argument
.Fa in_cu_header_offset .
Argument
.Fa out_cu_die_offset
points to a location that will hold the returned offset.
If the argument
.Fa err
is
.No non- Ns Dv NULL ,
it will be used to return an error descriptor in case of an error.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
On success, these functions return
.Dv DW_DLV_OK .
In case of an error, these functions return
.Dv DW_DLV_ERROR
and set argument
.Fa err .
.Pp
Function
.Fn dwarf_get_cu_die_offset_given_cu_header_offset
and
.Fn dwarf_get_cu_die_offset_given_cu_header_offset_b
returns
.Dv DW_DLV_NO_ENTRY
and sets argument
.Fa err
if there is no compilation or type unit located at the
offset specified in argument
.Fa in_cu_header_offset .
.Sh ERRORS
These functions may fail with the following errors:
.Bl -tag -width ".Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT"
.It Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT
One of the arguments
.Va cu_length ,
.Va cu_offset ,
.Va dbg ,
.Va die ,
.Va out_cu_die_offset
or
.Va ret_offset
was
.Dv NULL .
.It Bq Er DW_DLE_NO_ENTRY
Argument
.Fa in_cu_header_offset
specified an unknown offset.
