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).
