45Function
46.Fn dwarf_expr_current_offset
47returns the size in bytes of the stream representation of a location
48expression.
49.Pp
50Argument
51.Fa expr
52should reference a location expression descriptor allocated using
53.Xr dwarf_new_expr 3 .
54.Pp
55If argument
56.Fa err

58.Dv NULL ,
59it will be used to store error information in case of an error.
60.Sh RETURN VALUES
61On success, function
62.Fn dwarf_expr_current_offset
63returns the size in bytes of the location descriptor's stream
