.Dd November 9, 2011 .Dt DWARF_GET_ARANGES 3 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm dwarf_get_aranges .Nd retrieve program address space mappings .Sh LIBRARY .Lb libdwarf .Sh SYNOPSIS n libdwarf.h .Ft int .Fo dwarf_get_aranges .Fa "Dwarf_Debug dbg" .Fa "Dwarf_Arange **ar_list" .Fa "Dwarf_Signed *ar_cnt" .Fa "Dwarf_Error *err" .Fc .Sh DESCRIPTION The function .Fn dwarf_get_aranges retrieves address range information from the .Dq ".debug_aranges" DWARF section. Information about address ranges is returned using opaque descriptors of type .Vt Dwarf_Arange ,

p Argument .Ar dbg should reference a DWARF debug context allocated using .Xr dwarf_init 3 .

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

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

p If argument .Ar err is not NULL, it will be used to store error information in case of an error. .Ss Memory Management The memory area used for the array returned in argument .Ar ar_list is owned by .Lb libdwarf . Application code should not attempt to directly free this area. Portable applications should instead use .Xr dwarf_dealloc 3 to indicate that the memory area may be freed. .Sh RETURN VALUES Function .Fn dwarf_get_aranges returns .Dv DW_DLV_OK when it succeeds. It returns .Dv DW_DLV_NO_ENTRY if there is no .Dq ".debug_aranges" section associated with the specified debugging context. In case of an error, it returns .Dv DW_DLV_ERROR and sets the argument .Ar err . .Sh EXAMPLES To loop through all the address lookup table entries, use: d -literal -offset indent 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. */ } .Ed .Sh ERRORS Function .Fn dwarf_get_aranges can fail with: l -tag -width ".Bq Er DW_DLE_NO_ENTRY" t Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT One of the arguments .Ar dbg , .Ar ar_list or .Ar ar_cnt was NULL. t Bq Er DW_DLE_NO_ENTRY The debugging context .Ar dbg did not contain a .Dq ".debug_aranges" string section. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr dwarf 3 , .Xr dwarf_get_arange 3 , .Xr dwarf_get_arange_cu_header_offset 3 , .Xr dwarf_get_arange_info 3 , .Xr dwarf_get_cu_die_offset 3
