85.Sh DESCRIPTION
86These convenience functions are used to retrieve DWARF attribute
87values associated with a Debugging Information Entry (DIE) descriptor
88denoted by argument
89.Ar die .
90These functions store the value of the requested attribute into the
91location pointed to by their second argument, provided that the requested
92attribute exists in the debugging information entry.
93.Pp
94The list of functions and the DWARF attribute that they retrieve are:
95.Pp
96.Bl -tag -width ".Fn dwarf_arrayorder" -compact
97.It Fn dwarf_arrayorder
98Retrieve the
99.Dv DW_AT_ordering
100attribute value.
101.It Fn dwarf_bitoffset
102Retrieve the
103.Dv DW_AT_bit_offset
104attribute value.
105.It Fn dwarf_bitsize
106Retrieve the
107.Dv DW_AT_bit_size
108attribute value.
109.It Fn dwarf_bytesize
110Retrieve the
111.Dv DW_AT_byte_size
112attribute value.
113.It Fn dwarf_highpc
114Retrieve the
115.Dv DW_AT_high_pc
116attribute value.
117.It Fn dwarf_lowpc
118Retrieve the
119.Dv DW_AT_low_pc
120attribute value.
121.It Fn dwarf_srclang
122Retrieve the
123.Dv DW_AT_language
124attribute value.
125.El
126.Sh RETURN VALUES
127These functions return
128.Dv DW_DLV_OK on success.
129.Pp
130If the debugging information entry descriptor denoted by argument
131.Ar die
132does not contain the requested attribute, these functions return
133.Dv DW_DLV_NO_ENTRY
134and set argument
135.Ar err .
136For other errors, they return
137.Dv DW_DLV_ERROR
138and set argument
139.Ar err .
140.Sh ERRORS
141These functions can fail with the following errors:
142.Bl -tag -width ".Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT"
143.It Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT
144Arguments
145.Ar die ,
146.Ar ret_highpc ,
147.Ar ret_lowpc ,
148.Ar ret_size ,
149.Ar ret_lang
150or
151.Ar ret_order
152were NULL.
153.It Bq Er DW_DLE_NO_ENTRY
154Argument
155.Ar die
156had no requested attribute.
