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

SYNOPSIS
           sprintsyms(callers:string)

ARGUMENTS
       callers
           String with list of hexadecimal (kernel) addresses

DESCRIPTION
       Perform a symbolic lookup of the addresses in the given string, which
       are assumed to be the result of a prior calls to stack, callers, and
       similar functions.

       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), as obtained from symdata.
       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 printsyms.
