46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47Function
48.Fn dwarf_get_relocation_info_count
49retrieves the total number of relocation arrays generated by a prior
50call to
51.Xr dwarf_transform_to_disk_form 3 .
52.Pp
53Argument
54.Fa dbg
55should reference a DWARF producer instance allocated using
56.Xr dwarf_producer_init 3
57or
58.Xr dwarf_producer_init_b 3 .
59The
60.Dv DW_DLC_SYMBOLIC_RELOCATIONS
61flag should have been set on the producer instance.
62.Pp
63Argument
64.Fa reloc_cnt
65should point to a location which will be set to the total number of
66relocation arrays generated.
67.Pp
68Argument
69.Fa drd_buffer_version
70should point to a location which will be set to the version number
71of the relocation structures returned (see the symbol
72.Dv DWARF_DRD_BUFFER_VERSION ,
73defined in the header file
74.In libdwarf.h ) .
75.Pp
76If argument
77.Fa err
78is not
79.Dv NULL ,
80it will be used to store error information in case of an error.
81.Sh RETURN VALUES
82On success, function
83.Fn dwarf_get_relocation_info_count
84returns
85.Dv DW_DLV_OK .
86It returns
87.Dv DW_DLV_NO_ENTRY
88if the
89.Dv DW_DLC_SYMBOLIC_RELOCATIONS
90flag is not set on the producer instance.
91In case of an error, function
92.Fn dwarf_get_relocation_info_count
93returns
94.Dv DW_DLV_ERROR
95and sets the argument
96.Fa err .
97.Sh ERRORS
98Function
99.Fn dwarf_get_relocation_info_count
100can fail with:
