57.Sh DESCRIPTION
58These functions retrieve frame related information for the specified
59DWARF debug context.
60.Pp
61Function
62.Fn dwarf_get_fde_list
63retrieves frame information from the DWARF section named
64.Dq ".debug_frame" .
65For objects containing GNU style C++ exception handling
66information, the function
67.Fn dwarf_get_fde_list_eh
68retrieves frame information from the section named
69.Dq ".eh_frame" .
70.Pp
71Frame information is returned using opaque descriptors
72of type
73.Vt Dwarf_Cie
74and
75.Vt Dwarf_Fde .
76Applications need to use the other frame related functions in the
77DWARF(3) API set to retrieve the information contained in these
78descriptors.
79.Pp
80Argument
81.Ar dbg
82should reference a DWARF debug context allocated using
83.Xr dwarf_init 3 .
84.Pp
85Argument
86.Ar cie_list
87should point to a location that will be set to a pointer to an array
88of
89.Vt Dwarf_Cie
90descriptors.
91.Pp
92Argument
93.Ar cie_count
94should point to a location that will be set to the number of
95.Vt Dwarf_Cie
96descriptors returned.
97.Pp
98Argument
99.Ar fde_list
100should point to a location that will be set to a pointer to an array
101of
102.Vt Dwarf_Fde
103descriptors.
104.Pp
105Argument
106.Ar fde_count
107should point to a location that will be set to the number of
108.Vt Dwarf_Fde
109descriptors returned.
110.Pp
111If argument
112.Ar err
113is not NULL, it will be used to store error information in case of an
114error.
115.Ss Memory Management
116The memory areas used for the arrays returned in arguments
117.Ar cie_list
118and
119.Ar fde_list
120are owned by the
121.Lb libdwarf .
122Application code should not attempt to directly free these areas.
123Portable applications should instead use the
124.Xr dwarf_fde_cie_list_dealloc 3
125function to indicate that these memory areas may be freed.
126.Sh RETURN VALUES
127On success, these functions returns
128.Dv DW_DLV_OK .
129They return
130.Dv DW_DLV_NO_ENTRY
131if there is no frame information associated with the given DWARF
132debug context.
133In case of an error, they return
134.Dv DW_DLV_ERROR
135and set the argument
136.Ar err .
137.Sh ERRORS
138These functions may fail with the following errors:
139.Bl -tag -width ".Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT"
140.It Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT
141One of the arguments
142.Va dbg ,
143.Va cie_list ,
144.Va cie_count ,
145.Va fde_list
146or
147.Va fde_count
148was NULL.
149.It Bq Er DW_DLE_NO_ENTRY
150There is no frame information associated with the giving DWARF debug
151context.
152.El
153.Sh EXAMPLE
154To obtain frame information from the
155.Dq ".debug_frame"
156section, use:
