NAME
     addr2line -- translate program addresses to source	file names and line
     numbers

SYNOPSIS
     addr2line [-a | --addresses] [-b target | --target=target]
	       [-e pathname | --exe=pathname] [-f | --functions]
	       [-i | --inlines]	[-j sectionname	| --section=sectionname]
	       [-p | --pretty-print] [-s | --basename] [-C | --demangle]
	       [-H | --help] [-V | --version] [hexaddress...]

DESCRIPTION
     The addr2line utility translates program addresses	specified by the com-
     mand line arguments hexaddress to their corresponding source file names
     and line numbers.	If no arguments	are given to addr2line,	it will	read
     these addresses from standard input.

     Program addresses specified by arguments hexaddress are encoded using the
     conventions accepted by strtoull(3).

     By	default, addr2line will	use the	executable "a.out".  The -e option may
     be	used to	specified a different ELF object.

     The addr2line utility recognizes the following options:

     -a	| --addresses
	     Display the address prior to the line number information.

     -b	target | --target=target
	     This option is recognized by addr2line but	is ignored.  It	is
	     supported for compatibility with GNU binutils.

     -e	pathname | --exe=pathname
	     Use the ELF object	specified by argument pathname to translate
	     addresses.	 If this option	is not specified, addr2line will use
	     the file "a.out".

     -f	| --functions
	     Display function names in addition	to file	and line number	infor-
	     mation.

     -i	| --inlines
	     If	the address specified belongs to an inlined function, also
	     display the line number information for its caller, recursively
	     until the first non-inlined caller.

     -j	sectionname | --section=sectionname
	     The values	specified by arguments hexaddress are to be treated as
	     offsets into the section named sectionname.

     -p	| --pretty-print
	     Display the line number information on one	line, in human read-
	     able manner.

     -s	| --basename
	     Display only the base name	for each file name.

     -C	| --demangle
	     Demangle C++ names.

     -H	| --help
	     Print a help message.

     -V	| --version
	     Print a version identifier	and exit.

OUTPUT FORMAT
     If	the -f option was not specified, addr2line will	print the file name
     and line number for each address specified	on a separate line.

     If	the -f option was specified, addr2line will print a line containing
     the name of the function corresponding to program address hexaddress,
     followed by a line	with the file name and line number.

     If	the -p option was specified, addr2line will print line number informa-
     tion and function name on one line	in human readable manner. If the -i
     option was	also specified,	addr2line will print the caller	function in-
     formation prefixed	with "(inlined by)".

     The addr2line utility prints the file name	and line number	using the for-
     mat "FILENAME:LINENUMBER".

     If	a file or function name	could not be determined, addr2line will	print
     a question	mark in	their place.  If the line number could not be deter-
     mined, addr2line will print a zero	in its place.

EXAMPLES
     To	map address 080483c4 in	the default executable a.out to	a source file
     name and line number use:
	   % addr2line 080483c4

     To	map address 080483c4 in	executable helloworld, use:
	   % addr2line -e helloworld 080483c4

     To	have addr2line act as a	filter reading addresses from its standard in-
     put use:
	   % addr2line

     To	print the function name	corresponding to an address in addition	to its
     source file and line number use:
	   % addr2line -f 080483c4

EXIT STATUS
     The addr2line utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
