+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+These functions return the offsets associated with a DWARF attribute
+descriptor.
+.Pp
+Function
+.Fn dwarf_formref
+returns the compilation unit relative offset of the descriptor
+referenced by argument
+.Ar attr
+in the location pointed to by argument
+.Ar retoffset .
+Argument
+.Ar attr
+must be a reference that is local to a compilation unit.
+Permitted forms for argument
+.Ar attr
+are
+.Dv DW_FORM_ref1 ,
+.Dv DW_FORM_ref2 ,
+.Dv DW_FORM_ref4 ,
+.Dv DW_FORM_ref8
+and
+.Dv DW_FORM_ref_udata .
+.Pp
+Function
+.Fn dwarf_global_formref
+returns the section-relative offset of the descriptor referenced by
+argument
+.Ar attr
+in the location pointed to by argument
+.Ar retoffset .
+Argument
+.Ar attr
+should be a legal
+.Sy REFERENCE
+class form.
+Permitted forms for argument
+.Ar attr
+are:
+.Dv DW_FORM_ref_addr ,
+.Dv DW_FORM_ref_udata ,
+.Dv DW_FORM_ref1 ,
+.Dv DW_FORM_ref2 ,
+.Dv DW_FORM_ref4 ,
+.Dv DW_FORM_ref8
+and
+.Dv DW_FORM_sec_offset .
+The returned offset is relative to the start of the
+.Dq .debug_info
+ELF section.
+.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, these functions return
+.Dv DW_DLV_ERROR
+and sets 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
+Either of arguments
+.Ar attr
+or
+.Ar retoffset
+was NULL.
+.It Bq Er DW_DLE_ATTR_FORM_BAD
+The attribute referenced by argument
+.Ar attr
+was not of a permitted kind.
