SYNOPSIS         top

           ucallers:string(n:long)

ARGUMENTS         top

       n
           number of levels to descend in the stack (not counting the

DESCRIPTION         top

       This function returns a string of the first n hex addresses from
       the backtrace of the user stack. Output may be truncated as per
       maximum string length (MAXSTRINGLEN).

NOTE         top

       To get (full) backtraces for user space applications and shared
       shared libraries not mentioned in the current script run stap
       with -d /path/to/exe-or-so and/or add --ldd to load all needed
       unwind data.
