DWARF_FORMREF(3)       FreeBSD Library Functions Manual	      DWARF_FORMREF(3)

NAME
     dwarf_formref, dwarf_global_formref -- retrieve offsets for REFERENCE
     class attributes

LIBRARY
     DWARF Access Library (libdwarf, -ldwarf)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libdwarf.h>

     int
     dwarf_formref(Dwarf_Attribute attr, Dwarf_Off *retoffset,
	 Dwarf_Error *err);

     int
     dwarf_global_formref(Dwarf_Attribute attr,	Dwarf_Off *retoffset,
	 Dwarf_Error *err);

DESCRIPTION
     These functions return the	offsets	associated with	a DWARF	attribute de-
     scriptor.

     Function dwarf_formref() returns the compilation unit relative offset of
     the descriptor referenced by argument attr	in the location	pointed	to by
     argument retoffset.  Argument attr	must be	a reference that is local to a
     compilation unit.	Permitted forms	for argument attr are DW_FORM_ref1,
     DW_FORM_ref2, DW_FORM_ref4, DW_FORM_ref8 and DW_FORM_ref_udata.

     Function dwarf_global_formref() returns the section-relative offset of
     the descriptor referenced by argument attr	in the location	pointed	to by
     argument retoffset.  Argument attr	should be a legal REFERENCE class
     form.  Permitted forms for	argument attr are: DW_FORM_ref_addr,
     DW_FORM_ref_udata,	DW_FORM_ref1, DW_FORM_ref2, DW_FORM_ref4, DW_FORM_ref8
     and DW_FORM_sec_offset.  The returned offset is relative to the start of
     the ".debug_info" ELF section.

     If	argument err is	not NULL, it will be used to return an error descrip-
     tor in case of an error.

RETURN VALUES
     These functions return DW_DLV_OK on success.  In case of an error,	these
     functions return DW_DLV_ERROR and sets argument err.

ERRORS
     These functions may fail with the following errors:

     [DW_DLE_ARGUMENT]	     Either of arguments attr or retoffset was NULL.

     [DW_DLE_ATTR_FORM_BAD]  The attribute referenced by argument attr was not
			     of	a permitted kind.
