44*0a6a1f1dSLionel SambucFunction
45*0a6a1f1dSLionel Sambuc.Fn dwarf_set_reloc_application
46*0a6a1f1dSLionel Sambucallows applications to specify how relocation information is to be
47*0a6a1f1dSLionel Sambuchandled by the DWARF(3) library.
48*0a6a1f1dSLionel Sambuc.Pp
49*0a6a1f1dSLionel SambucIf the argument
50*0a6a1f1dSLionel Sambuc.Ar apply
51*0a6a1f1dSLionel Sambucholds a non-zero value, the library will process all the relevant
52*0a6a1f1dSLionel Sambuc.Dq ".rela"
53*0a6a1f1dSLionel Sambucrelocation sections and will apply the relocation records found to
54*0a6a1f1dSLionel Sambuctheir corresponding DWARF sections.
55*0a6a1f1dSLionel Sambuc.Pp
56*0a6a1f1dSLionel SambucIf the argument
57*0a6a1f1dSLionel Sambuc.Ar apply
58*0a6a1f1dSLionel Sambucis zero, the library will not attempt to apply any relocations.
59*0a6a1f1dSLionel Sambuc.Pp
60*0a6a1f1dSLionel SambucThe default behaviour of the library is to process relocation records.
