NAME         top

       function::sprint_backtrace - Return stack back trace as string

SYNOPSIS         top

           sprint_backtrace:string()

ARGUMENTS         top

       None

DESCRIPTION         top

       Returns a simple (kernel) backtrace. 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 print_backtrace. Equivalent to
       sprint_stack(backtrace), but more efficient (no need to translate
       between hex strings and final backtrace string).
