94.Sh DESCRIPTION
95These convenience functions are used to retrieve DWARF attribute
96values associated with a Debugging Information Entry (DIE) descriptor
97denoted by argument
98.Ar die .
99These functions store the value of the requested attribute into the
100location pointed to by their second argument, provided that the requested
101attribute exists in the debugging information entry.
102.Pp
103The list of functions and the DWARF attribute that they retrieve are:
104.Pp
105.Bl -tag -width ".Fn dwarf_arrayorder" -compact
106.It Fn dwarf_arrayorder
107Retrieve the
108.Dv DW_AT_ordering
109attribute value.
110.It Fn dwarf_bitoffset
111Retrieve the
112.Dv DW_AT_bit_offset
113attribute value.
114.It Fn dwarf_bitsize
115Retrieve the
116.Dv DW_AT_bit_size
117attribute value.
118.It Fn dwarf_bytesize
119Retrieve the
120.Dv DW_AT_byte_size
121attribute value.
122.It Fn dwarf_highpc
123Retrieve the
124.Dv DW_AT_high_pc
125attribute value.
126.It Fn dwarf_highpc_b
127Retrieve the
128.Dv DW_AT_high_pc
129attribute value.
130.It Fn dwarf_lowpc
131Retrieve the
132.Dv DW_AT_low_pc
133attribute value.
134.It Fn dwarf_srclang
135Retrieve the
136.Dv DW_AT_language
137attribute value.
138.El
139.Pp
140Function
141.Fn dwarf_highpc_b
142is an enhanced version of function
143.Fn dwarf_highpc .
144It sets the location specified by argument
145.Ar ret_form
146to the form code of the attribute
147.Dv DW_AT_high_pc ,
148and sets the location specified by argument
149.Ar ret_class
150to the class of that form.
151A value of NULL may be used for either of the arguments
152.Ar ret_form
153or
154.Ar ret_class
155if the caller is not interested in the respective value.
156.Sh RETURN VALUES
157These functions return
158.Dv DW_DLV_OK on success.
159.Pp
160If the debugging information entry descriptor denoted by argument
161.Ar die
162does not contain the requested attribute, these functions return
163.Dv DW_DLV_NO_ENTRY
164and set argument
165.Ar err .
166For other errors, they return
167.Dv DW_DLV_ERROR
168and set argument
169.Ar err .
170.Sh ERRORS
171These functions can fail with the following errors:
172.Bl -tag -width ".Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT"
173.It Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT
174Arguments
175.Ar die ,
176.Ar ret_highpc ,
177.Ar ret_lowpc ,
178.Ar ret_size ,
179.Ar ret_lang
180or
181.Ar ret_order
182were NULL.
183.It Bq Er DW_DLE_NO_ENTRY
184Argument
185.Ar die
186had no requested attribute.
