(Dwarf_Debug
dbg, Dwarf_Unsigned offset,
Dwarf_Abbrev *ret_abbrev,
Dwarf_Unsigned *length, Dwarf_Unsigned
*attr_count, Dwarf_Error *err);
dwarf_get_abbrev
() retrieves information about
an abbreviation from the DWARF abbreviations section,
“.debug_abbrev”. Abbreviation information is returned using an
opaque descriptor of type Dwarf_Abbrev. The returned
Dwarf_Abbrev descriptor may then be passed to the other
abbreviation related APIs in the DWARF(3) API to retrieve specific information
about the abbreviation.
Argument dbg should reference a DWARF debug context allocated using dwarf_init(3).
Argument offset should be an offset, relative to the “.debug_abbrev” section, to the start of an abbreviation entry.
Argument ret_abbrev should point to a location that will hold a pointer to the returned Dwarf_Abbrev descriptor.
Argument length should point to a location that will hold the number of bytes used by the abbrevation in the DWARF “.debug_abbrev” section.
Argument attr_count should point to a location that will hold the number of attributes in the abbrevation.
If argument err is not NULL, it will be used to store error information in case of an error.
dwarf_dealloc
() with the
allocation type DW_DLA_ABBREV
to free the memory area
when the Dwarf_Abbrev descriptor is no longer needed.
dwarf_get_abbrev
() returns
DW_DLV_OK
when it succeeds. It returns
DW_DLV_NO_ENTRY
if there is no abbreviation
information at offset offset. In case of an error, it
returns DW_DLV_ERROR
and sets the argument
err.
