.SH NAME
unw_get_proc_info
\-\- get info on current procedure
.PP
.SH SYNOPSIS
.PP
#include <libunwind.h>
.br
.PP
int
unw_get_proc_info(unw_cursor_t *cp,
unw_proc_info_t *pip);
.br
.PP
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The unw_get_proc_info()
routine returns auxiliary
information about the procedure that created the stack frame
identified by argument cp\&.
The pip
argument is a pointer
to a structure of type unw_proc_info_t
which is used to
return the information. The unw_proc_info_t
has the
following members:
.TP
unw_word_t start_ip
The address of the first
instruction of the procedure. If this address cannot be determined
(e.g., due to lack of unwind information), the start_ip
member is cleared to 0.
.br
.TP
unw_word_t end_ip
The address of the first
instruction \fIbeyond\fP
the end of the procedure. If this address
cannot be determined (e.g., due to lack of unwind information),
the end_ip
member is cleared to 0.
.br
.TP
unw_word_t lsda
The address of the
language\-specific data\-area (LSDA). This area normally contains
language\-specific information needed during exception handling. If
the procedure has no such area, this member is cleared to 0.
.br
.TP
unw_word_t handler
The address of the exception
handler routine. This is sometimes called the \fIpersonality\fP
routine. If the procedure does not define
a personality routine, the handler
member is cleared to 0.
.br
.TP
unw_word_t gp
The global\-pointer of the
procedure. On platforms that do not use a global pointer, this
member may contain an undefined value. On all other platforms, it
must be set either to the correct global\-pointer value of the
procedure or to 0 if the proper global\-pointer cannot be
obtained for some reason.
.br
.TP
unw_word_t flags
A set of flags. There are
currently no target\-independent flags. For the IA\-64 target, the
flag UNW_PI_FLAG_IA64_RBS_SWITCH
is set if the
procedure may switch the register\-backing store.
.br
.TP
int format
The format of the unwind\-info for this
procedure. If the unwind\-info consists of dynamic procedure info,
format
is equal to UNW_INFO_FORMAT_DYNAMIC\&.
If the
unwind\-info consists of a (target\-specific) unwind table, it is
equal to to UNW_INFO_FORMAT_TABLE\&.
All other values are
reserved for future use by libunwind\&.
This member exists
for use by the find_proc_info()
call\-back (see
unw_create_addr_space(3)).
The
unw_get_proc_info()
routine
may return an undefined value in this member.
.br
.TP
int unwind_info_size
The size of the unwind\-info
in bytes. This member exists for use by the
find_proc_info()
call\-back (see
unw_create_addr_space(3)).
The
unw_get_proc_info()
routine
may return an undefined value in this member.
.br
.TP
void *unwind_info
The pointer to the unwind\-info.
If no unwind info is available, this member must be set to
NULL\&.
This member exists for use by the
find_proc_info()
call\-back (see
unw_create_addr_space(3)).
The
unw_get_proc_info()
routine
may return an undefined value in this member.
.br
.PP
Note that for the purposes of libunwind,
the code of a
procedure is assumed to occupy a single, contiguous range of
addresses. For this reason, it is alwas possible to describe the
extent of a procedure with the start_ip
and end_ip
members. If a single function/routine is split into multiple,
discontiguous pieces, libunwind
will treat each piece as a
separate procedure.
.PP
.SH RETURN VALUE
.PP
On successful completion, unw_get_proc_info()
returns 0.
Otherwise the negative value of one of the error\-codes below is
returned.
.PP
.SH THREAD AND SIGNAL SAFETY
.PP
unw_get_proc_info()
is thread\-safe as well as safe to use
from a signal handler.
.PP
.SH ERRORS
.PP
.TP
UNW_EUNSPEC
An unspecified error occurred.
.TP
UNW_ENOINFO
Libunwind
was unable to locate
unwind\-info for the procedure.
.TP
UNW_EBADVERSION
The unwind\-info for the procedure has
version or format that is not understood by libunwind\&.
.PP
In addition, unw_get_proc_info()
may return any error
returned by the access_mem()
call\-back (see
unw_create_addr_space(3)).
