50.Sh DESCRIPTION
51Function
52.Fn dwarf_add_line_entry
53adds a line number information entry to a DWARF producer instance.
54.Pp
55Argument
56.Ar dbg
57should reference a DWARF producer instance allocated using
58.Xr dwarf_producer_init 3
59or
60.Xr dwarf_producer_init_b 3 .
61.Pp
62Argument
63.Ar filendx
64specifies the index of the source file that contains the source line
65in question.
66Valid source file indices are those returned by the function
67.Xr dwarf_add_file_decl 3 .
68.Pp
69Argument
70.Ar off
71specifies a relocatable program address.
72The ELF symbol to be used
73for relocation is set by a prior call to the function
74.Xr dwarf_lne_set_address 3 .
75.Pp
76Argument
77.Ar lineno
78specifies the line number of the source line.
79.Pp
80Argument
81.Ar column
82specifies the column number within the source line.
83.Pp
84If the argument
85.Ar is_stmt
86is set to true, it indicates that the instruction at the address
87specified by argument
88.Ar off
89is a recommended breakpoint location, i.e., the first instruction in
90the instruction sequence generated by the source line.
91.Pp
92If the argument
93.Ar basic_block
94is set to true, it indicates that the instruction at the address
95specified by argument
96.Ar off
97is the first instruction of a basic block.
98.Pp
99If argument
100.Ar err
101is not NULL, it will be used to store error information in case
102of an error.
103.Sh RETURN VALUES
104On success, function
105.Fn dwarf_add_line_entry
106returns
107.Dv DW_DLV_OK .
108In case of an error, function
109.Fn dwarf_add_line_entry
110returns
111.Dv DW_DLV_NOCOUNT
112and sets the argument
113.Ar err .
114.Sh ERRORS
115Function
116.Fn dwarf_add_line_entry
117can fail with:
118.Bl -tag -width ".Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT"
119.It Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT
120Argument
121.Ar dbg
122was NULL.
123.It Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT
124The function
125.Xr dwarf_lne_set_address 3
126was not called before calling this function.
127.It Bq Er DW_DLE_MEMORY
128An out of memory condition was encountered during the execution of the
129function.
130.El
131.Sh EXAMPLE
132To add line number information to the producer instance, use:
133.Bd -literal -offset indent
134Dwarf_P_Debug dbg;
135Dwarf_Error de;
136Dwarf_Unsigned dir, filendx;
137
138/* ... assume dbg refers to a DWARF producer instance ... */
139
140dir = dwarf_add_directory_decl(dbg, "/home/foo", &de);
141if (dir == DW_DLV_NOCOUNT)
142	errx(EXIT_FAILURE, "dwarf_add_directory_decl failed: %s",
143	    dwarf_errmsg(-1));
144
145filendx = dwarf_add_file_decl(dbg, "bar.c", dir, 0, 1234, &de);
146if (filendx == DW_DLV_NOCOUNT)
147	errx(EXIT_FAILURE, "dwarf_add_file_decl failed: %s",
148	    dwarf_errmsg(-1));
149
150if (dwarf_lne_set_address(dbg, 0x4012b0, 12, &de) != DW_DLV_OK)
151	errx(EXIT_FAILURE, "dwarf_lne_set_address failed: %s",
152	    dwarf_errmsg(-1));
153
154if (dwarf_add_line_entry(dbg, filendx, 10, 258, 0, 1, 1, &de) !=
155    DW_DLV_OK)
156	errx(EXIT_FAILURE, "dwarf_add_line_entry failed: %s",
157	    dwarf_errmsg(-1));
