DWARF_SET_RELOC_APPLICATION(3)

DWARF_SET_RELOC_APPLICATION(3) — Library Functions Manual — bestie, let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

dwarf_set_reloc_application — set a library-wide relocation flag 💅

🦋 LIBRARY 🦋

DWARF Access Library (libdwarf, -ldwarf) 🌈

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <libdwarf.h>

int
dwarf_set_reloc_application(int apply);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so dwarf_set_reloc_application() is literally the function that lets applications specify how relocation information is handled by the DWARF(3) library. main character energy for relocation settings ✨

• If the argument apply holds a non-zero value, the library will process all the relevant ".rel" and ".rela" relocation sections, and will apply the relocation records found to their corresponding DWARF sections. slay 💅
• If the argument apply is zero, the library will not attempt to apply any relocations. not me skipping the relocations 🙈

The default behaviour of the library is to process relocation records. periodt 🔥

🧚 NOTES 🧚

dwarf_set_reloc_application() should be called before initialising a dwarf debugging context, i.e., it should be called by the application before calling either of the functions dwarf_init(3) or dwarf_elf_init(3). like, do it first bestie — timing is everything 🎀

💜 RETURN VALUES 💜

dwarf_set_reloc_application() returns the previous value of the library-wide relocation application flag. so you get the old setting back, iconic 👑

🌸 ERRORS 🌸

dwarf_set_reloc_application() does not return an error. no error era, we love to see it 💖
