DWARF_GET_ARANGE(3)					   BSD Library Functions Manual 				       DWARF_GET_ARANGE(3)

NAME

     dwarf_get_arange -- retrieve the address range descriptor for an address

LIBRARY

     DWARF Access Library (libdwarf, -ldwarf)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <libdwarf.h>

     int
     dwarf_get_arange(Dwarf_Arange *ar_list, Dwarf_Unsigned ar_cnt, Dwarf_Addr addr, Dwarf_Arange *ret_ar, Dwarf_Error *err);

DESCRIPTION

     Function dwarf_get_arange() searches an array of Dwarf_Arange descriptors for one that covers a given address.

     Argument ar_list should point to an array of Dwarf_Arange descriptors.

     Argument ar_cnt specifies the number of Dwarf_Arange descriptors in the array pointed to by argument ar_list.

     Argument addr specifies the address being looked up.

     Argument ret_ar will be used to store the Dwarf_Arange descriptor that covers the given address.

     If argument err is not NULL, it will be used to store error information in case of an error.

RETURN VALUES

     Function dwarf_get_arange() returns DW_DLV_OK when it succeeds.  It returns DW_DLV_NO_ENTRY if there is no Dwarf_Arange descriptor that cov-
     ers the provided address.	In case of an error, it returns DW_DLV_ERROR and sets the argument err.

ERRORS

     Function dwarf_get_arange() can fail with:

     [DW_DLE_ARGUMENT]	One of the arguments dbg, ar_list or ret_ar was NULL.

     [DW_DLE_ARGUMENT]	Value of argument ar_cnt equals to 0.

     [DW_DLE_NO_ENTRY]	A Dwarf_Arange descriptor that covers the given address was not found.

DWARF_GET_ARANGES(3)					   BSD Library Functions Manual 				      DWARF_GET_ARANGES(3)

NAME

     dwarf_get_aranges -- retrieve program address space mappings

LIBRARY

     DWARF Access Library (libdwarf, -ldwarf)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <libdwarf.h>

     int
     dwarf_get_aranges(Dwarf_Debug dbg, Dwarf_Arange **ar_list, Dwarf_Signed *ar_cnt, Dwarf_Error *err);

DESCRIPTION

     The function dwarf_get_aranges() retrieves address range information from the ``.debug_aranges'' DWARF section.  Information about address
     ranges is returned using opaque descriptors of type Dwarf_Arange,

     Argument dbg should reference a DWARF debug context allocated using dwarf_init(3).

     Argument ar_list should point to a location which will be set to a pointer to an array of Dwarf_Arange descriptors.

     Argument ar_cnt should point to a location which will be set to the number of descriptors returned.

     If argument err is not NULL, it will be used to store error information in case of an error.

   Memory Management
     The memory area used for the array returned in argument ar_list is owned by DWARF Access Library (libdwarf, -ldwarf).  Application code
     should not attempt to directly free this area.  Portable applications should instead use dwarf_dealloc(3) to indicate that the memory area
     may be freed.

RETURN VALUES

     Function dwarf_get_aranges() returns DW_DLV_OK when it succeeds.  It returns DW_DLV_NO_ENTRY if there is no ``.debug_aranges'' section asso-
     ciated with the specified debugging context.  In case of an error, it returns DW_DLV_ERROR and sets the argument err.

ERRORS

     Function dwarf_get_aranges() can fail with:

     [DW_DLE_ARGUMENT]	One of the arguments dbg, ar_list or ar_cnt was NULL.

     [DW_DLE_NO_ENTRY]	The debugging context dbg did not contain a ``.debug_aranges'' string section.

EXAMPLE

     To loop through all the address lookup table entries, use:

	   Dwarf_Debug dbg;
	   Dwarf_Addr start;
	   Dwarf_Arange *aranges;
	   Dwarf_Off die_off;
	   Dwarf_Signed i, cnt;
	   Dwarf_Unsigned length;
	   Dwarf_Error de;

	   if (dwarf_get_aranges(dbg, &aranges, &cnt, &de) != DW_DLV_OK)
		   errx(EXIT_FAILURE, "dwarf_get_aranges: %s",
		       dwarf_errmsg(de));

	   for (i = 0; i < cnt; i++) {
		   if (dwarf_get_arange_info(aranges[i], &start, &length,
		       &die_off, &de) != DW_DLV_OK) {
			   warnx("dwarf_get_arange_info: %s",
			       dwarf_errmsg(de));
			   continue;
		   }
		   /* Do something with the returned information. */
	   }
