DWARF_SET_RELOC_APPLICATION(3) | Library Functions Manual | DWARF_SET_RELOC_APPLICATION(3)

# NAME

`dwarf_set_reloc_application` —
set a library-wide relocation flag

# LIBRARY

DWARF Access Library (libdwarf, -ldwarf)

# SYNOPSIS

`#include <libdwarf.h>`

int
`dwarf_set_reloc_application`(int apply);

# DESCRIPTION

Function `dwarf_set_reloc_application`() allows applications to specify how relocation information is to be handled by the DWARF(3) library.

If the argument apply holds a non-zero value, the library will process all the relevant “.rel” and “.rela” relocation sections and will apply the relocation records found to their corresponding DWARF sections.

If the argument apply is zero, the library will not attempt to apply any relocations.

The default behaviour of the library is to process relocation records.

# NOTES

Function `dwarf_set_reloc_application`() should be called before initialising a dwarf debugging context, i.e, it should be called by the application before calling either of the functions dwarf_init(3) or dwarf_elf_init(3).

# RETURN VALUES

Function `dwarf_set_reloc_application`() returns the previous value of the library-wide relocation application flag.

# ERRORS

Function `dwarf_set_reloc_application`() does not return an error.
