27.Os
28.Dt DWARF_SETERRARG 3
29.Sh NAME
30.Nm dwarf_seterrarg ,
31.Nm dwarf_seterrhand
32.Nd configure error handling
33.Sh LIBRARY
34.Lb libdwarf
35.Sh SYNOPSIS
36.In libdwarf.h
37.Ft Dwarf_Ptr
38.Fn dwarf_seterrarg "Dwarf_Debug dbg" "Dwarf_Ptr arg"
39.Ft Dwarf_Handler
40.Fn dwarf_seterrhand "Dwarf_Debug dbg" "Dwarf_Handler handler"
41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42These functions may be used by applications to configure error handling
43callbacks.
44The error handling scheme used by the library is described in
45.Xr dwarf 3 .
46.Pp
47Function
48.Fn dwarf_seterrarg
49may be used to set the callback argument passed to a configured
50error handler at the time it is invoked.
51Argument
52.Ar arg
53is the callback argument being set.
54Argument
55.Ar dbg
56can be a debug context allocated by a prior call to
57.Xr dwarf_init 3 ,
58or can be NULL to indicate that the library-wide callback argument
59is to be set.
60.Pp
61Function
62.Fn dwarf_seterrhand
63may be used to associate an error handler denoted by argument
64.Ar handler
65with the DWARF debug context descriptor denoted by argument
66.Ar dbg .
67Argument
68.Ar dbg
69should be a debug context allocated by a prior call to
70.Xr dwarf_init 3 ,
71or may be NULL to indicate that the library-wide error handler
72is to be set.
73.Sh RETURN VALUES
74Function
75.Fn dwarf_seterrhand
76returns the previous error handler associated with argument
77.Ar dbg .
78If argument
79.Ar dbg
80is NULL, function
81.Fn dwarf_seterrhand
82returns the previous library-wide error handler.
83.Pp
84Function
85.Fn dwarf_seterrarg
86returns the previous callback argument associated with argument
87.Ar dbg .
88If argument
89.Ar dbg
90is NULL, function
91.Fn dwarf_seterrarg
92returns the previous library-wide callback argument.
93.Pp
94.Sh COMPATIBILITY
95The behavior of these functions when argument
96.Ar dbg
97is NULL is a local extension.
98.Sh ERRORS
99These functions do not set an error code.
