51Function
52.Fn dwarf_add_frame_cie
53adds a DWARF call frame common information entry (CIE) to a producer
54instance.
55.Pp
56Argument
57.Fa dbg
58should reference a DWARF producer instance allocated using
59.Xr dwarf_producer_init 3
60or
61.Xr dwarf_producer_init_b 3 .
62.Pp
63Argument
64.Fa augmenter
65should point to a NUL-terminated augmentation string for the common
66information entry.
67.Pp
68Argument
69.Fa caf
70specifies the code alignment factor.
71.Pp
72Argument
73.Fa daf
74specifies the data alignment factor.
75.Pp
76Argument
77.Fa ra
78specifies the column number used for the return address register.
79.Pp
80Argument
81.Fa initinst
82should point to a byte stream containing the initial instructions
83for the common information entry.
84.Pp
85Argument
86.Fa initlen
87should hold the length in bytes of the byte stream pointed to by
88argument
89.Fa initinst .
90.Pp
91If argument
92.Fa err
93is not
94.Dv NULL ,
95it will be used to store error information in case of an error.
96.Sh RETURN VALUES
97On success, function
98.Fn dwarf_add_frame_cie
99returns the index value of the created common information entry.
100In case of an error, function
101.Fn dwarf_add_frame_cie
102returns
103.Dv DW_DLV_NOCOUNT
104and sets the argument
105.Fa err .
