66.Sh DESCRIPTION
67These functions are used to retrieve offsets for DWARF debugging
68information entries.
69.Pp
70Function
71.Fn dwarf_die_CU_offset
72returns the offset of the debugging information entry referenced by
73argument
74.Ar die
75relative to the start of its containing compilation unit.
76Argument
77.Ar ret_offset
78should point to the location that is to hold the returned offset.
79If argument
80.Ar err
81is non-NULL, it will be used to return an error descriptor in case of
82an error.
83.Pp
84Function
85.Fn dwarf_die_CU_offset_range
86returns the section-relative offset and length of the compilation unit
87containing the debugging information entry referenced by argument
88.Ar die .
89Argument
90.Ar cu_offset
91should point to a location that will hold the returned offset.
92Argument
93.Ar cu_length
94should point to a location that will hold the returned length of the
95compilation unit.
96If argument
97.Ar err
98is non-NULL, it will be used to return an error descriptor in case of
99an error.
100.Pp
101Function
102.Fn dwarf_dieoffset
103retrieves the section-relative offset of the debugging information
104entry referenced by argument
105.Ar die .
106Argument
107.Ar ret_offset
108should point to a location that is to hold the returned
109section-relative offset.
110If argument
111.Ar err
112is non-NULL, it will be used to return an error descriptor in case of
113an error.
114.Pp
115Function
116.Fn dwarf_get_cu_die_offset_given_cu_header_offset
117returns the offset for the debugging information entry for a
118compilation unit, given an offset to the header of the compilation
119unit.
120Argument
121.Ar dbg
122should reference a valid debugging context allocated using
123.Xr dwarf_init 3 .
124Argument
125.Ar in_cu_header_offset
126contains the offset to the start of a compilation unit.
127Argument
128.Ar out_cu_die_offset
129points to a location that will hold the returned offset.
130If argument
131.Ar err
132is non-NULL, it will be used to return an error descriptor in case of
133an error.
134.Sh RETURN VALUES
135On success, these functions returns
136.Dv DW_DLV_OK .
137In case of an error, these functions return
138.Dv DW_DLV_ERROR
139and set argument
140.Ar err .
141.Pp
142Function
143.Fn dwarf_get_cu_die_offset_given_cu_header_offset
144returns
145.Dv DW_DLV_NO_ENTRY
146and sets argument
147.Ar err
148if there is no compilation unit located at the
149offset specified in argument
150.Ar in_cu_header_offset .
151.Sh ERRORS
152These functions may fail with the following errors:
153.Bl -tag -width ".Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT"
154.It Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT
155One of the arguments
156.Va cu_length ,
157.Va cu_offset ,
158.Va dbg ,
159.Va die ,
160.Va out_cu_die_offset
161or
162.Va ret_offset
163was NULL.
164.It Bq Er DW_DLE_NO_ENTRY
165Argument
166.Ar in_cu_header_offset
167specified an unknown offset.
