46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47Function
48.Fn dwarf_add_AT_dataref
49creates an attribute descriptor for a relocatable address and attaches
50it to the debugging information entry referenced by argument
51.Ar die .
52.Pp
53If flag
54.Dv DW_DLC_SIZE_64
55is set, the address value will be 8 bytes in size and of the DWARF form
56.Dv DW_FORM_data8 .
57Otherwise, the address value will be 4 bytes in size and of the DWARF form
58.Dv DW_FORM_data4 .
59.Pp
60Argument
61.Ar dbg
62should reference a DWARF producer instance allocated using
63.Xr dwarf_producer_init 3
64or
65.Xr dwarf_producer_init_b 3 .
66.Pp
67Argument
68.Ar die
69should reference a debugging information entry allocated using
70.Xr dwarf_new_die 3 .
71.Pp
72Argument
73.Ar attr
74specifies the attribute code of the created attribute descriptor.
75.Pp
76Argument
77.Ar pc_value
78specifies the value of the relocatable address.
79.Pp
80Argument
81.Ar sym_index
82specifies the ELF symbol index of the symbol to be used for
83relocation.
84.Pp
85If argument
86.Ar err
87is not NULL, it will be used to store error information in case
88of an error.
89.Sh RETURN VALUES
90On success, function
91.Fn dwarf_add_AT_dataref
92returns the created attribute descriptor.
93In case of an error, function
94.Fn dwarf_add_AT_dataref
95returns
96.Dv DW_DLV_BADADDR
97and sets the argument
98.Ar err .
99.Sh ERRORS
