NAME
     addr2line - convert addresses into file names and line numbers.

SYNOPSIS
     addr2line [-b bfdname|--target=bfdname]
	       [-C|--demangle[=style]]
	       [-e filename|--exe=filename]
	       [-f|--functions] [-s|--basename]
	       [-i|--inlines]
	       [-j|--section=name]
	       [-H|--help] [-V|--version]
	       [addr addr ...]

DESCRIPTION
     addr2line	translates addresses into file names and line numbers.	Given an
     address in an executable or an offset in a section of a relocatable object,
     it uses the debugging information to figure out which file  name  and  line
     number are associated with it.

     The  executable  or  relocatable object to use is specified with the -e op-
     tion.  The default is the file a.out.  The section in the	relocatable  ob-
     ject to use is specified with the -j option.

     addr2line has two modes of operation.

     In  the first, hexadecimal addresses are specified on the command line, and
     addr2line displays the file name and line number for each address.

     In the second, addr2line reads hexadecimal addresses from	standard  input,
     and  prints the file name and line number for each address on standard out-
     put.  In this mode, addr2line may be used in a pipe to convert  dynamically
     chosen addresses.

     The format of the output is FILENAME:LINENO.  The file name and line number
     for  each address is printed on a separate line.  If the -f option is used,
     then each FILENAME:LINENO line is preceded by a FUNCTIONNAME line which  is
     the name of the function containing the address.

     If  the  file  name  or function name can not be determined, addr2line will
     print two question marks in their place.  If the line number can not be de-
     termined, addr2line will print 0.

OPTIONS
     The long and short forms of options, shown here as alternatives, are equiv-
     alent.

     -b bfdname
     --target=bfdname
	 Specify that the object-code format for the object files is bfdname.

     -C
     --demangle[=style]
	 Decode (demangle) low-level symbol names into	user-level  names.   Be-
	 sides	removing  any  initial	underscore prepended by the system, this
	 makes C++ function names readable.  Different compilers have  different
	 mangling  styles. The optional demangling style argument can be used to
	 choose an appropriate demangling style for your compiler.

     -e filename
     --exe=filename
	 Specify the name of the executable for which addresses should be trans-
	 lated.  The default file is a.out.

     -f
     --functions
	 Display function names as well as file and line number information.

     -s
     --basenames
	 Display only the base of each file name.

     -i
     --inlines
	 If the address belongs to a function that was inlined, the  source  in-
	 formation  for all enclosing scopes back to the first non-inlined func-
	 tion will also be printed.  For example, if  "main"  inlines  "callee1"
	 which	inlines "callee2", and address is from "callee2", the source in-
	 formation for "callee1" and "main" will also be printed.

     -j
     --section
	 Read offsets relative to the specified section instead of absolute  ad-
	 dresses.

     @file
	 Read  command-line options from file.	The options read are inserted in
	 place of the original @file option.  If file does not exist, or  cannot
	 be read, then the option will be treated literally, and not removed.

	 Options  in  file  are separated by whitespace.  A whitespace character
	 may be included in an option by surrounding the entire option in either
	 single or double quotes.  Any character (including a backslash) may  be
	 included  by  prefixing  the character to be included with a backslash.
	 The file may itself contain additional @file options; any such  options
	 will be processed recursively.
