50.Sh DESCRIPTION
51These functions return the value associated with a DWARF attribute
52describing a constant.
53.Pp
54Function
55.Fn dwarf_formudata
56sets the location pointed to by argument
57.Ar ret
58to the value of the attribute referenced by argument
59.Ar attr ,
60treating the value as an unsigned quantity.
61Argument
62.Ar attr
63must have one of the following forms:
64.Dv DW_FORM_data1 ,
65.Dv DW_FORM_data2 ,
66.Dv DW_FORM_data4 ,
67.Dv DW_FORM_data8
68and
69.Dv DW_FORM_udata .

71Function
72.Fn dwarf_formsdata
73sets the location pointed to by argument
74.Ar ret
75to the value of the attribute referenced by argument
76.Ar attr ,
77appropriately sign extended.
78Argument
79.Ar attr
80must have one of the following forms:
81.Dv DW_FORM_data1 ,
82.Dv DW_FORM_data2 ,
83.Dv DW_FORM_data4 ,
84.Dv DW_FORM_data8
85and
86.Dv DW_FORM_sdata .
87.Pp
88If argument
89.Ar err
90is not NULL, it will be used to return an error descriptor in case
91of an error.
92.Sh RETURN VALUES
93These functions return
94.Dv DW_DLV_OK
95on success.
96In case of an error, they return
