50 .Fn dwarf_get_relocation_info
51 is used to retrieve the relocation arrays generated by a prior call to
52 .Xr dwarf_transform_to_disk_form 3 .
54 Each call to this function retrieves the next available relocation
56 Application code should call this function repeatly to retrieve all
57 the relocation arrays.
58 The total number of generated relocation arrays retrievable
59 by this function may be obtained by calling function
60 .Xr dwarf_get_relocation_info_count 3 .
64 should reference a DWARF producer instance allocated using
65 .Xr dwarf_producer_init 3 in sequence.
67 .Xr dwarf_producer_init_b 3 .
69 .Dv DW_DLC_SYMBOLIC_RELOCATIONS
70 flag should have been set on the DWARF producer instance.
74 should point to a location which will be set to the ELF section index
75 of the relocation section to which the retrieved relocation array
80 should point to a location which will be set to the section index of
81 the ELF section to which the retrieved relocation array applies.
85 should point to a location which will be set to the total number of
86 relocation entries contained in the relocation array.
90 should point to a location which will be set to a pointer to the
91 retrieved array of relocation entries.
95 is not NULL, it will be used to store error information in case
98 The retrieved relocation entries are described using structure
99 .Vt Dwarf_Relocation_Data_s ,
100 defined in the header file
102 .Bd -literal -offset indent
103 typedef struct Dwarf_Relocation_Data_s {

108 } *Dwarf_Relocation_Data;
112 .Vt Dwarf_Relocation_Data_s
113 consists of following fields:
114 .Bl -tag -width ".Va drd_symbol_index" -compact -offset indent
116 The type code of the relocation entry.
119 enumeration defined in the header file
121 specifies legal values for this field.
123 The size in bytes of the field to be relocated.
125 The section-relative offset of the field to be relocated.
126 .It Va drd_symbol_index
127 The symbol index associated with the relocation entry.
129 .Ss Memory Management
130 The memory area used for the relocation arrays is managed by the
133 .Fn dwarf_producer_finish
134 may be used to release it, along with other resources associated
135 with the producer instance.
138 .Fn dwarf_get_relocation_info
143 if there were no more relocation arrays to retrieve, or if the flag
144 .Dv DW_DLC_SYMBOLIC_RELOCATIONS
145 was not set on the producer instance.
146 In case of an error, function
147 .Fn dwarf_get_relocation_info
150 and sets the argument

183 Dwarf_Signed count, index, link;
184 Dwarf_Unsigned reloc_cnt, entry_cnt;
