50.Sh DESCRIPTION
51Function
52.Fn dwarf_get_loclist_entry
53retrieves a location list entry from the DWARF section
54.Dq ".debug_loc" .
55.Pp
56Argument
57.Fa dbg
58should reference a DWARF debug context allocated using
59.Xr dwarf_init 3 .
60.Pp
61Argument
62.Fa offset
63is an offset, relative to the
64.Dq ".debug_loc"
65section, to the start of the desired location list entry.
66.Pp
67Argument
68.Fa hipc
69should point to a location which will hold the offset, relative to the
70base address of the location list entry, of the highest program
71counter value for the entry.
72.Pp
73Argument
74.Fa lowpc
75should point to a location which will hold the offset, relative to the
76base address of the location list entry, of the lowest program counter
77value for the entry.
78.Pp
79Argument
80.Fa data
81should point to a location which will be set to a pointer to the location
82list data.
83.Pp
84Argument
85.Fa entry_len
86should point to a location which will hold the length in bytes of the
87location list data returned in argument
88.Fa data .
89.Pp
90Argument
91.Fa next_entry
92should point to a location which will hold the offset of the next
93location list entry.
94.Pp
95If argument
96.Fa err
97is not
98.Dv NULL ,
99it will be used to store error information in case of an error.
100.Sh RETURN VALUES
101Function
102.Fn dwarf_get_loclist_entry
103returns
104.Dv DW_DLV_OK
105when it succeeds.
106It returns
107.Dv DW_DLV_NO_ENTRY
108if there is no location list at the specified offset
109.Fa offset .
110In case of an error, it returns
111.Dv DW_DLV_ERROR
112and sets the argument
113.Fa err .
114.Sh EXAMPLES
115To iterate through all the location list entries in the
116.Dq ".debug_loc"
117section, use:
118.Bd -literal -offset indent
119Dwarf_Debug dbg;
120Dwarf_Unsigned off, len, next;
121Dwarf_Addr hipc, lopc;
122Dwarf_Ptr data;

124int ret;
125
126off = 0;
127while ((ret = dwarf_get_loclist_entry(dbg, off, &hipc, &lopc, &data,
128    &len, &next, &de)) == DW_DLV_OK) {
129	/* ... use loclist entry ... */
130	off = next;
131}
132if (ret == DW_DLV_ERROR)
133	warnx("dwarf_get_loclist_entry failed: %s", dwarf_errmsg(de));
