49Function
50.Fn dwarf_add_frame_cie
51adds a DWARF call frame common information entry (CIE) to a producer
52instance.
53.Pp
54Argument
55.Ar dbg
56should reference a DWARF producer instance allocated using
57.Xr dwarf_producer_init 3
58or
59.Xr dwarf_producer_init_b 3 .
60.Pp
61Argument
62.Ar augmenter
63should point to a NUL-terminated augmentation string for the common
64information entry.
65.Pp
66Argument
67.Ar caf
68specifies the code alignment factor.

72specifies the data alignment factor.
73.Pp
74Argument
75.Ar ra
76specifies the column number used for the return address register.
77.Pp
78Argument
79.Ar initinst
80should point to a byte stream containing the initial instructions
81for the common information entry.
82.Pp
83Argument
84.Ar initlen
85should hold the length in bytes of the byte stream pointed to by
86argument
87.Ar initinst .
88.Pp
89If argument
90.Ar err
91is not NULL, it will be used to store error information in case of an
92error.
93.Sh RETURN VALUES
94On success, function
95.Fn dwarf_add_frame_cie
96returns the index value of the created common information entry.
97In case of an error, function
98.Fn dwarf_add_frame_cie
99returns
100.Dv DW_DLV_NOCOUNT
101and sets the argument
102.Ar err .
103.Sh ERRORS
