+\end{Name}

+\section{Synopsis}
+
+\File{\#include $<$libunwind.h$>$}\\
+
+\Type{int} \Func{unw\_get\_proc\_info\_by\_ip}(\Type{unw\_addr\_space\_t~}\Var{as}, \Type{unw\_word\_t~}\Var{ip}, \Type{unw\_proc\_info\_t~*}\Var{pip}, \Type{void~*}\Var{arg});\\
+
+\section{Description}
+
+The \Func{unw\_get\_proc\_info\_by\_ip}() routine returns the same
+kind of auxiliary information about a procedure as
+\Func{unw\_get\_proc\_info}(), except that the info is looked up by
+instruction-pointer (IP) instead of a cursor. This is more flexible
+because it is possible to look up the info for an arbitrary procedure,
+even if it is not part of the current call-chain. However, since it
+is more flexible, it also tends to run slower (and often much slower)
+than \Func{unw\_get\_proc\_info}().
+
+The routine expects the followins arguments: \Var{as} is the
+address-space in which the instruction-pointer should be looked up.
+For a look-up in the local address-space,
+\Var{unw\_local\_addr\_space} can be passed for this argument.
+Argument \Var{ip} is the instruction-pointer for which the procedure
+info should be looked up and \Var{pip} is a pointer to a structure of
+type \Type{unw\_proc\_info\_t} which is used to return the info.
+Lastly, \Var{arg} is the address-space argument that should be used
+when accessing the address-space. It has the same purpose as the
+argument of the same name for \Func{unw\_init\_remote}(). When
+accessing the local address-space (first argument is
+\Var{unw\_local\_addr\_space}), \Const{NULL} must be passed for this
+argument.
+
+Note that for the purposes of \Prog{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 \Var{start\_ip} and \Var{end\_ip}
+members. If a single function/routine is split into multiple,
+discontiguous pieces, \Prog{libunwind} will treat each piece as a
+separate procedure.
+
+\section{Return Value}
+
+On successful completion, \Func{unw\_get\_proc\_info\_by\_ip}()
+returns 0. Otherwise the negative value of one of the error-codes
+below is returned.
+
+\section{Thread and Signal Safety}
+
+\Func{unw\_get\_proc\_info}() is thread-safe. If the local
+address-space is passed in argument \Var{as}, this routine is also
+safe to use from a signal handler.
+
+\section{Errors}
+
+\begin{Description}
+\item[\Const{UNW\_EUNSPEC}] An unspecified error occurred.
+\item[\Const{UNW\_ENOINFO}] \Prog{Libunwind} was unable to locate
+ unwind-info for the procedure.
+\item[\Const{UNW\_EBADVERSION}] The unwind-info for the procedure has
+ version or format that is not understood by \Prog{libunwind}.
+\end{Description}
+In addition, \Func{unw\_get\_proc\_info}() may return any error
+returned by the \Func{access\_mem}() call-back (see
+\Func{unw\_create\_addr\_space}(3)).
