46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47Function
48.Fn dwarf_get_fde_instr_bytes
49retrieves instruction bytes from a given FDE descriptor.
50.Pp
51Argument
52.Ar fde
53should reference a valid DWARF FDE descriptor.
54.Pp
55Argument
56.Ar ret_inst
57should point to a location that will be set to a pointer
58to an array of bytes containing the instructions of the
59FDE descriptor.
60.Pp
61Argument
62.Ar ret_len
63should point to a location that will hold the length in
64bytes of the instructions returned in argument
65.Ar ret_inst .
66.Pp
67If argument
68.Ar err
69is not NULL, it will be used to store error information in case of an
70error.
71.Pp
72Applications can use the function
73.Xr dwarf_expand_frame_instructions 3
74to parse and expand the returned instruction bytes into an array of
75.Vt Dwarf_Frame_Op
76descriptors.
77.Sh RETURN VALUES
78Function
79.Fn dwarf_get_fde_instr_bytes
80returns
81.Dv DW_DLV_OK
82when it succeeds.
83In case of an error, it returns
84.Dv DW_DLV_ERROR
85and sets the argument
86.Ar err .
87.Sh ERRORS
88Function
89.Fn dwarf_get_fde_instr_bytes
90can fail with:
91.Bl -tag -width ".Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT"
