74.Sh DESCRIPTION
75These functions retrieve information about static functions from the
76lookup tables in the (SGI-specific)
77.Dq ".debug_funcnames"
78section.
79Information about these functions is returned using opaque descriptors
80of type
81.Vt Dwarf_Func .
82Applications need to use the functions described below to retrieve
83the name and offset information contained in these descriptors.
84.Pp
85Function
86.Fn dwarf_get_funcs
87retrieves descriptors for all the static functions associated with the
88DWARF debug context specified by argument
89.Ar dbg .
90The argument
91.Ar funcs
92should point to a location that will be set to a pointer to an array
93of
94.Vt Dwarf_Func
95descriptors.
96The argument
97.Ar nfuncs
98should point to a location that will be set to the number of
99descriptors returned.
100.Pp
101Function
102.Fn dwarf_func_cu_offset
103returns the offset, relative to the
104.Dq ".debug_info"
105section, of the compilation unit that contains the debugging
106information entry associated with the argument
107.Ar func .
108Argument
109.Ar cu_offset
110should point to a location that will hold the returned offset.
111.Pp
112Function
113.Fn dwarf_func_die_offset
114retrieves the offset, relative to the
115.Dq ".debug_info"
116section, of the debugging information entry associated with the
117argument
118.Ar func ,
119and stores it into the location pointed to by the argument
120.Ar die_offset .
121.Pp
122Function
123.Fn dwarf_func_name_offsets
124retrieves the name and offsets for the debugging information entry for
125argument
126.Ar func .
127Argument
128.Ar name
129should point to a location which will be set to a pointer to a
130NUL-terminated string containing the name of the associated debugging
131information entry.
132Argument
133.Ar die_offset
134should point to a location which will be set to the offset, relative
135to the
136.Dq ".debug_info"
137section, of the associated debugging information entry.
138Argument
139.Ar cu_die_offset
140should point to a location which will be set to the offset, relative
141to the
142.Dq ".debug_info"
143section, of the first debugging information entry in the compilation
144unit associated with argument
145.Ar func .
146.Pp
147Function
148.Fn dwarf_funcname
149sets the location pointed to by argument
150.Ar name
151to a pointer to a NUL-terminated string holding the name of the
152debugging information entry associated with the argument
153.Ar func .
154.Ss Memory Management
155The memory area used for the array of
156.Vt Dwarf_Func
157descriptors returned in argument
158.Ar funcs
159by function
160.Fn dwarf_get_funcs
161is owned by the
162.Lb libdwarf .
163Application code should not attempt to directly free this pointer.
164Portable code should instead use the function
165.Xr dwarf_funcs_dealloc 3
166to indicate that the memory area may be freed.
167.Pp
168The memory area used for the string returned in the
169.Ar name
170argument to functions
171.Fn dwarf_func_name_offsets
172and
173.Fn dwarf_funcname
174is owned by the
175.Lb libdwarf .
176Portable code should indicate that the memory area can
177be freed using the
178.Xr dwarf_dealloc 3
179function.
180.Ss Error Returns
181If argument
182.Ar err
183is not NULL, these functions will use it to store error information,
184in case of an error.
185.Sh RETURN VALUES
186On success, these functions returns
187.Dv DW_DLV_OK .
188In case of an error, they return
189.Dv DW_DLV_ERROR
190and set the argument
191.Ar err .
192.Sh ERRORS
193These functions may fail with the following errors:
194.Bl -tag -width ".Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT"
195.It Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT
196One of the arguments
197.Va cu_die_offset ,
198.Va cu_offset ,
199.Va dbg ,
200.Va die_offset ,
201.Va func ,
202.Va funcs ,
203.Va name ,
204or
205.Va nfuncs
206was NULL.
207.It Bq Er DW_DLE_NO_ENTRY
208The DWARF debugging context referenced by argument
209.Ar dbg
210did not contain information about static functions.
