+# NAME
+
+pt_iscache_add_file - add file sections to a traced memory image section cache
+
+
+# SYNOPSIS
+
+| **\#include `<intel-pt.h>`**
+|
+| **int pt_iscache_add_file(struct pt_image_section_cache \**iscache*,**
+| **const char \**filename*, uint64_t *offset*,**
+| **uint64_t *size*, uint64_t *vaddr*);**
+
+Link with *-lipt*.
+
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+
+**pt_iscache_add_file**() adds a new section consisting of *size* bytes starting
+at *offset* in *filename* loaded at *vaddr* to *iscache*.
+
+On success, **pt_iscache_add_file**() returns a positive integer identifier that
+uniquely identifies the added section in that cache. This identifier can be
+used to add sections from an image section cache to one or more traced memory
+images. See **pt_image_add_cached**(3). Sections added from an image section
+cache will be shared across images. It can also be used to read memory from the
+cached section. See **pt_iscache_read**(3).
+
+If the cache already contains a suitable section, no section is added and the
+identifier for the existing section is returned. If the cache already contains
+a section that only differs in the load address, a new section is added that
+shares the underlying file section.
+
+
+# RETURN VALUE
+
+**pt_iscache_add_file**() returns a positive image section identifier on success
+or a negative *pt_error_code* enumeration constant in case of an error.
+
+
+# ERRORS
+
+pte_invalid
+: The *iscache* or *filename* argument is NULL or the *offset* argument is too
+ big such that the section would start past the end of the file.
+
+
+# EXAMPLE
+
+~~~{.c}
+int add_file(struct pt_image_section_cache *iscache, struct pt_image *image,
+ const char *filename, uint64_t offset, uint64_t size,
+ uint64_t vaddr, const struct pt_asid *asid) {
+ int isid;
+
+ isid = pt_iscache_add_file(iscache, filename, offset, size, vaddr);
+ if (isid < 0)
+ return isid;
+
+ return pt_image_add_cached(image, iscache, isid, asid);
+}
