With libxml, how to get the character position of a given element or attribute in an XML source file?

Question

With libxml2 we can use xmlGetLineNoto get the line number where node appears in the XML source file.

But how to get the symbol positions of a given element and a given attribute ? I need both start, and endpositions in the source XML file for both node and attribute.

Thank!
