💅 dwarf_attroffset — the libdwarf bestie you needed 💅

okay so welcome to the DWARF_ATTROFFSET(3) page, bestie ✨ this one lives in the DWARF Access Library and it’s lowkey here to hand you an offset. iconic behavior, no cap 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

dwarf_attroffset — retrieve the section-relative offset of an attribute descriptor 🦋

💖 LIBRARY 💖

DWARF Access Library (libdwarf, -ldwarf) 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <libdwarf.h>

int
dwarf_attroffset(Dwarf_Attribute at, Dwarf_Off *ret_off,
    Dwarf_Error *err);

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Function dwarf_attroffset() retrieves the section-relative offset of the attribute descriptor referenced by argument at. literally its whole job 💅

Argument ret_off should point to a location that is to hold the returned section-relative offset. If argument err is non-NULL, it is used to return an error descriptor in case of an error. so yes, give it somewhere cute to put the offset 🫶

⭐ RETURN VALUES ⭐

On success, function dwarf_attroffset() returns DW_DLV_OK. slay ✅

In case of an error, it returns DW_DLV_ERROR and sets argument err. sad girl hours but at least you get the error descriptor 😭

🌈 COMPATIBILITY 🌈

This function is an extension to the DWARF(3) API. iykyk 🧚

💀 ERRORS 💀

The dwarf_attroffset() function may fail with the following errors:

• [DW_DLE_ARGUMENT] — Either of the arguments at or ret_off was NULL. not the NULL erasure bestie 🙈
