NAME

       gstack - print a stack trace of a running process

SYNOPSIS

       gstack pid

DESCRIPTION

       gstack  attaches to the active process named by the pid on the command line, and prints out an execution stack trace.  If ELF symbols exist
       in the binary (usually the case unless you have run strip(1)), then symbolic addresses are printed as well.

       If the process is part of a thread group, then gstack will print out a stack trace for each of the threads in the group.

NAME

       pstack - print a stack trace for each LWP in each process and core file

SYNOPSIS


DESCRIPTION

       prints a stack trace (hex+symbolic) for each LWP (Lightweight Process) in each process and core file.

       Given  the  pid of a running process or the full path of a core file, prints the stack trace for each LWP thread in the process.  To obtain
       symbol information, searches load modules (executable and shared libraries) in the current directory, and You can  specify  the	executable
       path  with the pid/corepath, separated by a colon character.  If cannot find a load module, symbol information for frames in that module is
       not displayed.

       works by attaching to the running process and reading its registers, memory, and stack.	 Mismatch  between  executable	and  corefile  may
       result in unpredictable behavior.

   Options
       supports the following option:

	      Prints the usage menu.

   Operand
       supports the following operand:
	      pid identifies a running process, with an optional execpath, the full executable path.

		     corepath is the full path name of the specified executable.

RETURN VALUES

       returns the following values:

	      Successful completion.
	      Failure.
		      An error has occurred.
