42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43Function
44.Fn dwarf_expr_current_offset
45returns the size in bytes of the stream representation of a location
46expression.
47.Pp
48Argument
49.Ar expr
50should reference a location expression descriptor allocated using
51.Xr dwarf_new_expr 3 .
52.Pp
53If argument
54.Ar err
55is not NULL, it will be used to store error information in case
56of an error.
57.Sh RETURN VALUES
58On success, function
59.Fn dwarf_expr_current_offset
60returns the size in bytes of the location descriptor's stream
61representation.
62In case of an error, function
63.Fn dwarf_expr_current_offset
64returns
65.Dv DW_DLV_NOCOUNT
66and sets the argument
67.Ar err .
68.Sh ERRORS
69Function
70.Fn dwarf_expr_current_offset
71can fail with:
72.Bl -tag -width ".Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT"
73.It Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT
74Argument
75.Ar expr
