DWARF_WHATATTR(3)					   BSD Library Functions Manual 					 DWARF_WHATATTR(3)

NAME

     dwarf_whatattr -- retrieve the attribute code for a DWARF attribute

LIBRARY

     DWARF Access Library (libdwarf, -ldwarf)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <libdwarf.h>

     int
     dwarf_whatattr(Dwarf_Attribute attr, Dwarf_Half *retcode, Dwarf_Error *err);

DESCRIPTION

     Function dwarf_whatattr() retrieves the attribute code for the DWARF attribute referenced by argument attr, and writes it to the location
     pointed to by argument retcode.  If argument err is not NULL, it will be used to return an error descriptor in case of an error.

RETURN VALUES

     On success, function dwarf_whatattr() returns DW_DLV_OK.  In case of an error, it returns DW_DLV_ERROR and sets argument err.

ERRORS

     Function dwarf_whatattr() can fail with the following error:

     [DW_DLE_ARGUMENT]	Either of argument attr or retcode was NULL.

DWARF_ATTR(3)						   BSD Library Functions Manual 					     DWARF_ATTR(3)

NAME

     dwarf_attr -- retrieve an attribute descriptor associated with a DWARF debugging information entry

LIBRARY

     DWARF Access Library (libdwarf, -ldwarf)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <libdwarf.h>

     int
     dwarf_attr(Dwarf_Die die, Dwarf_Half attr, Dwarf_Attribute *atp, Dwarf_Error *err);

DESCRIPTION

     Function dwarf_attr() retrieves the attribute descriptor for an attribute associated with the DWARF debugging information entry descriptor in
     argument die.

     DWARF attribute descriptors are represented by value of the opaque type Dwarf_Attribute, see dwarf(3).

     Argument attr names the desired DWARF attribute.  Legal values for argument attr are those denoted by the DW_AT_* constants in the DWARF
     specification.

     Argument atp points to a location into which the returned attribute descriptor will be written.  The returned descriptor may then be passed
     to the form query functions in the dwarf(3) API set to access the data associated with the attribute.

     If argument err is non-NULL, it will be used to return an error descriptor in case of an error.

RETURN VALUES

     Function dwarf_attr() returns DW_DLV_OK on success.

     If the debugging information entry descriptor denoted by argument die does not contain the named attribute, the function returns
     DW_DLV_NO_ENTRY and sets argument err.  For other errors, it returns DW_DLV_ERROR and sets argument err.

ERRORS

     Function dwarf_attr() can fail with the following errors:

     [DW_DLE_ARGUMENT]	Either of arguments die or atp was NULL.

     [DW_DLE_NO_ENTRY]	Argument die had no attribute corresponding to the value in argument attr.
