# NAME

dwarf_die_CU_offset, dwarf_die_CU_offset_range, dwarf_dieoffset, dwarf_get_cu_die_offset_given_cu_header_offset — return offsets of DWARF debugging information entries

# LIBRARY

DWARF Access Library (libdwarf, -ldwarf)

# SYNOPSIS

#include <libdwarf.h>

int
dwarf_die_CU_offset(Dwarf_Die die, Dwarf_Off *ret_offset, Dwarf_Error *err);

int
dwarf_die_CU_offset_range(Dwarf_Die die, Dwarf_Off *cu_offset, Dwarf_Off *cu_length, Dwarf_Error *err);

int
dwarf_dieoffset(Dwarf_Die die, Dwarf_Off *ret_offset, Dwarf_Error *err);

int
dwarf_get_cu_die_offset_given_cu_header_offset(Dwarf_Debug dbg, Dwarf_Off in_cu_header_offset, Dwarf_Off *out_cu_die_offset, Dwarf_Error *err);

# DESCRIPTION

These functions are used to retrieve offsets for DWARF debugging information entries.

Function dwarf_die_CU_offset() returns the offset of the debugging information entry referenced by argument die relative to the start of its containing compilation unit. Argument ret_offset should point to the location that is to hold the returned offset. If argument err is non-NULL, it will be used to return an error descriptor in case of an error.

Function dwarf_die_CU_offset_range() returns the section-relative offset and length of the compilation unit containing the debugging information entry referenced by argument die. Argument cu_offset should point to a location that will hold the returned offset. Argument cu_length should point to a location that will hold the returned length of the compilation unit. If argument err is non-NULL, it will be used to return an error descriptor in case of an error.

Function dwarf_dieoffset() retrieves the section-relative offset of the debugging information entry referenced by argument die. Argument ret_offset should point to a location that is to hold the returned section-relative offset. If argument err is non-NULL, it will be used to return an error descriptor in case of an error.

Function dwarf_get_cu_die_offset_given_cu_header_offset() returns the offset for the debugging information entry for a compilation unit, given an offset to the header of the compilation unit. Argument dbg should reference a valid debugging context allocated using dwarf_init(3). Argument in_cu_header_offset contains the offset to the start of a compilation unit. Argument out_cu_die_offset points to a location that will hold the returned offset. If argument err is non-NULL, it will be used to return an error descriptor in case of an error.

# RETURN VALUES

On success, these functions returns DW_DLV_OK. In case of an error, these functions return DW_DLV_ERROR and set argument err.

Function dwarf_get_cu_die_offset_given_cu_header_offset() returns DW_DLV_NO_ENTRY and sets argument err if there is no compilation unit located at the offset specified in argument in_cu_header_offset.

# ERRORS

These functions may fail with the following errors:

[DW_DLE_ARGUMENT]
  One of the arguments cu_length, cu_offset, dbg, die, out_cu_die_offset or ret_offset was NULL.
[DW_DLE_NO_ENTRY]
  Argument in_cu_header_offset specified an unknown offset.
