STACK(1) STACK(1) NAME stack - examine call stack SYNOPSIS bind '#p' /prog stack [ -v ] [ -p dispath sblpath ]... pid DESCRIPTION Stack writes to the standard output a stack trace for pro- cess pid, by decoding the stack traceback data contained in the file /prog/pid/stack. The -v option causes stack to print values of arguments and variables. The output is most useful when the Limbo program was compiled with the -g option to produce a .sbl symbol file. Stack has a built-in list of associations between dis direc- tories and their associated source directories (e.g. it can automatically map from /dis/ls.dis to /appl/cmd/ls.sbl). Giving the -p option adds a new association to the head of this list: if a module path prefix matches dispath, stack will search for a symbol file in sblpath. If the environment variable $sblpath is set, pairs of items from it are added to the association list, as given as -p options. The -p options take precedence over $sblpath. EXAMPLE Run stack on process with ID 1: $ stack 1 unknown fn() Module $Sys PC 742103 waitfor() shnew.b:105.7, 38 runpipeline() shnew.b:483.2, 14 runit() shnew.b:552.3, 29 init() shnew.b:83.3, 28 The process is executing in the Sys module, a call to sys->read that originated at line 105 (characters 7 to 38) of the waitfor function in shnew.b. Once again, with the -v option to reveal more: $ stack -v 1 unknown fn() Module $Sys PC 742103 waitfor(pid=18) shnew.b:105.7, 38 status=[0] "" buf=[64] @b419a4 n=-1 who=-1 runpipeline(ctx=nil, pipeline=@b41454) shnew.b:483.2, 14 pid=18 STACK(1) STACK(1) runit(ctx=nil, pipes=nil) shnew.b:552.3, 29 pipeline=@b41454 init(ctxt=nil, argv=nil) shnew.b:83.3, 28 buf=[1024] @b40f04 n=4 arg=@b41634 prompt=[21] "$ " $ FILES /prog/pid/stack /prog/pid/status SOURCE /appl/cmd/stack.b SEE ALSO deb(1), ps(1), prog(3), debug(2)
