69.Sh DESCRIPTION
70Function
71.Fn dwarf_get_section_max_offsets_b
72retrieves the sizes of the DWARF sections in a DWARF debug context.
73Argument
74.Ar dbg
75should reference a DWARF debug context allocated using
76.Xr dwarf_init 3 .
77The function stores the size of each DWARF section to the location
78pointed to by the argument corresponding to the section name.
79If a DWARF section does not exist, the location pointed to by the
80argument corresponding to that section will be set to zero.
81.Pp
82A value of NULL may be used for any of the arguments
83.Ar debug_info ,
84.Ar debug_abbrev ,
85.Ar debug_line ,
86.Ar debug_loc ,
87.Ar debug_aranges ,
88.Ar debug_macinfo ,
89.Ar debug_pubnames ,
90.Ar debug_str ,
91.Ar debug_frame ,
92.Ar debug_ranges ,
93.Ar debug_pubtypes
94and
95.Ar debug_types
96if the caller is not interested in the respective section size.
97.Pp
98Function
99.Fn dwarf_get_section_max_offsets
100is identical to function
101.Fn dwarf_get_section_max_offsets_b
102except that it does not provide argument
103.Ar debug_types ,
104and thus cannot return the size of the
105.Dq \&.debug_types
106section.
107.Sh RETURN VALUES
108On success, these functions return
109.Dv DW_DLV_OK .
110If argument
111.Ar dbg
112is NULL, they return
113.Dv DW_DLV_ERROR .
