FUNCTION::SPRINT_STA(3stap)					 Context Functions				       FUNCTION::SPRINT_STA(3stap)

NAME
       function::sprint_stack - Return stack for kernel addresses from string

SYNOPSIS
	   sprint_stack:string(stk:string)

ARGUMENTS
       stk
	   String with list of hexadecimal (kernel) addresses

DESCRIPTION
       Perform a symbolic lookup of the addresses in the given string, which is assumed to be the result of a prior call to backtrace.

       Returns a simple backtrace from the given hex string. 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_stack.

NOTE
       it is recommended to use sprint_syms instead of this function.
