The bt command unwind and display the stack

Command Format

bt [-v] [cnt]

where:

Functional description

The bt command unwinds the debugged programs stack by inspecting the stack and code. The actual trace output is architecture dependent. The -v option is used to print out any available additional information like call arguments (register parameters) if this information is available. To limit the number of levels the traceback is going back the cnt argument can be used.

A typical stack trace output may look like this (MIPS architecture) after having reached a breakpoint:

PMON> c write+10
   write+0x0010     3c09a07f   lui        t1,0xa07f
PMON> bt
    write+0x0010    (0x00000001,0xa0030300,0x0000001c)
   flsbuf+0x0234    (0xa0030300,0xa0029030)
   printf+0x045c    (0xa0025490,0xa0020000,0x000000001,0x00000010)
     main+0x0138    (0x00000001,0xa07ffffe0)
   _start+0x0040    ()
