.Sh DESCRIPTION
These functions return the value associated with a DWARF attribute
describing a constant.
.Pp
Function
.Fn dwarf_formudata
sets the location pointed to by argument
.Ar ret
to the value of the attribute referenced by argument
.Ar attr ,
treating the value as an unsigned quantity.
Argument
.Ar attr
must have one of the following forms:
.Dv DW_FORM_data1 ,
.Dv DW_FORM_data2 ,
.Dv DW_FORM_data4 ,
.Dv DW_FORM_data8
and
.Dv DW_FORM_udata .
.Pp
Function
.Fn dwarf_formsdata
sets the location pointed to by argument
.Ar ret
to the value of the attribute referenced by argument
.Ar attr ,
appropriately sign extended.
Argument
.Ar attr
must have one of the following forms:
.Dv DW_FORM_data1 ,
.Dv DW_FORM_data2 ,
.Dv DW_FORM_data4 ,
.Dv DW_FORM_data8
and
.Dv DW_FORM_sdata .
.Pp
If argument
.Ar err
is not NULL, it will be used to return an error descriptor in case
of an error.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
These functions return
.Dv DW_DLV_OK
on success.
In case of an error, they return
.Dv DW_DLV_ERROR
and set argument
.Ar err .
.Sh ERRORS
These functions may fail with the following errors:
.Bl -tag -width ".Bq Er DW_DLE_ATTR_FORM_BAD"
.It Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT
