# NAME

`dwarf_get_fde_instr_bytes` —
retrieve instructions from FDE descritpor

# LIBRARY

DWARF Access Library (libdwarf, -ldwarf)

# SYNOPSIS

`#include <libdwarf.h>`

int
`dwarf_get_fde_instr_bytes`(Dwarf_Fde fde, Dwarf_Ptr *ret_inst, Dwarf_Unsigned *ret_len, Dwarf_Error *error);

# DESCRIPTION

Function `dwarf_get_fde_instr_bytes`() retrieves instruction bytes from a given FDE descriptor.

Argument fde should reference a valid DWARF FDE descriptor.

Argument ret_inst should point to a location that will be set to a pointer to an array of bytes containing the instructions of the FDE descriptor.

Argument ret_len should point to a location that will hold the length in bytes of the instructions returned in argument ret_inst.

If argument err is not NULL, it will be used to store error information in case of an error.

Applications can use the function dwarf_expand_frame_instructions(3) to parse and expand the returned instruction bytes into an array of Dwarf_Frame_Op descriptors.

# RETURN VALUES

Function `dwarf_get_fde_instr_bytes`() returns `DW_DLV_OK` when it succeeds. In case of an error, it returns `DW_DLV_ERROR` and sets the argument err.

# ERRORS

Function `dwarf_get_fde_instr_bytes`() can fail with:

[`DW_DLE_ARGUMENT`]
  One of the arguments fde, ret_inst or ret_len was NULL.
