44.Sh DESCRIPTION
45Function
46.Fn dwarf_get_fde_instr_bytes
47retrieves instruction bytes from a given FDE descriptor.
48.Pp
49Argument
50.Ar fde
51should reference a valid DWARF FDE descriptor.
52.Pp
53Argument
54.Ar ret_inst
55should point to a location that will be set to a pointer
56to an array of bytes containing the instructions of the
57FDE descriptor.
58.Pp
59Argument
60.Ar ret_len
61should point to a location that will hold the length in
62bytes of the instructions returned in argument
63.Ar ret_inst .
64.Pp
65If argument
66.Ar err
67is not NULL, it will be used to store error information in case of an
68error.
69.Pp
70Applications can use the function
71.Xr dwarf_expand_frame_instructions 3
72to parse and expand the returned instruction bytes into an array of
73.Vt Dwarf_Frame_Op
74descriptors.
75.Sh RETURN VALUES
76Function
77.Fn dwarf_get_fde_instr_bytes
78returns
79.Dv DW_DLV_OK
80when it succeeds.
81In case of an error, it returns
82.Dv DW_DLV_ERROR
83and sets the argument
84.Ar err .
85.Sh ERRORS
86Function
87.Fn dwarf_get_fde_instr_bytes
88can fail with:
