FUNCTION::SPRINTSTA(3stap) Context Functions FUNCTION::SPRINTSTA(3stap)

NAME
       function::sprintstack - Return stack for kernel addresses from string

SYNOPSIS
           sprintstack:string(stk:string)

ARGUMENTS
       stk
           String with list of hexadecimal (kernel) addresses

DESCRIPTION
       Perform a symbolic lookup of the addresses in the given string, which
       is assumed to be the result of a prior call to backtrace.

       Returns a simple backtrace from the given hex string. One line per
       address. Includes the symbol name (or hex address if symbol couldn't be
       resolved) and module name (if found). Includes the offset from the
       start of the function if found, otherwise the offset will be added to
       the module (if found, between brackets). Returns the backtrace as
       string (each line terminated by a newline character). Note that the
       returned stack will be truncated to MAXSTRINGLEN, to print fuller and
       richer stacks use printstack.

NOTE
       it is recommended to use sprintsyms instead of this function.
