NAME

     dwarf_get_funcs, dwarf_func_cu_offset, dwarf_func_die_offset, dwarf_func_name_offsets, dwarf_funcname -- retrieve information about static
     functions

LIBRARY

     DWARF Access Library (libdwarf, -ldwarf)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <libdwarf.h>

     int
     dwarf_get_funcs(Dwarf_Debug dbg, Dwarf_Func **funcs, Dwarf_Signed *nfuncs, Dwarf_Error *err);

     int
     dwarf_func_cu_offset(Dwarf_Func func, Dwarf_Off *cu_offset, Dwarf_Error *err);

     int
     dwarf_func_die_offset(Dwarf_Func func, Dwarf_Off *die_offset, Dwarf_Error *err);

     int
     dwarf_func_name_offsets(Dwarf_Func func, char **name, Dwarf_Off *die_offset, Dwarf_Off *cu_die_offset, Dwarf_Error *err);

     int
     dwarf_funcname(Dwarf_Func func, char **name, Dwarf_Error *err);

DESCRIPTION

     These functions retrieve information about static functions from the lookup tables in the (SGI-specific) ``.debug_funcnames'' section.
     Information about these functions is returned using opaque descriptors of type Dwarf_Func.  Applications need to use the functions described
     below to retrieve the name and offset information contained in these descriptors.

     Function dwarf_get_funcs() retrieves descriptors for all the static functions associated with the DWARF debug context specified by argument
     dbg.  The argument funcs should point to a location that will be set to a pointer to an array of Dwarf_Func descriptors.  The argument nfuncs
     should point to a location that will be set to the number of descriptors returned.

     Function dwarf_func_cu_offset() returns the offset, relative to the ``.debug_info'' section, of the compilation unit that contains the debug-
     ging information entry associated with the argument func.	Argument cu_offset should point to a location that will hold the returned offset.

     Function dwarf_func_die_offset() retrieves the offset, relative to the ``.debug_info'' section, of the debugging information entry associated
     with the argument func, and stores it into the location pointed to by the argument die_offset.

     Function dwarf_func_name_offsets() retrieves the name and offsets for the debugging information entry for argument func.  Argument name
     should point to a location which will be set to a pointer to a NUL-terminated string containing the name of the associated debugging informa-
     tion entry.  Argument die_offset should point to a location which will be set to the offset, relative to the ``.debug_info'' section, of the
     associated debugging information entry.  Argument cu_die_offset should point to a location which will be set to the offset, relative to the
     ``.debug_info'' section, of the first debugging information entry in the compilation unit associated with argument func.

     Function dwarf_funcname() sets the location pointed to by argument name to a pointer to a NUL-terminated string holding the name of the
     debugging information entry associated with the argument func.

   Memory Management
     The memory area used for the array of Dwarf_Func descriptors returned in argument funcs by function dwarf_get_funcs() is owned by the DWARF
     Access Library (libdwarf, -ldwarf).  Application code should not attempt to directly free this pointer.  Portable code should instead use the
     function dwarf_funcs_dealloc(3) to indicate that the memory area may be freed.

     The memory area used for the string returned in the name argument to functions dwarf_func_name_offsets() and dwarf_funcname() is owned by the
     DWARF Access Library (libdwarf, -ldwarf).	Portable code should indicate that the memory area can be freed using the dwarf_dealloc(3) func-
     tion.

   Error Returns
     If argument err is not NULL, these functions will use it to store error information, in case of an error.

RETURN VALUES

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

ERRORS

     These functions may fail with the following errors:

     [DW_DLE_ARGUMENT]	One of the arguments cu_die_offset, cu_offset, dbg, die_offset, func, funcs, name, or nfuncs was NULL.

     [DW_DLE_NO_ENTRY]	The DWARF debugging context referenced by argument dbg did not contain information about static functions.
