NAME
       function::sprint_backtrace - Return stack back trace as string (EXPERIMENTAL)

SYNOPSIS
	   sprint_backtrace:string()

ARGUMENTS
       None

DESCRIPTION
       Returns a simple (kernel) backtrace. 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_backtrace. Equivalent to sprint_stack(backtrace), but more
       efficient (no need to translate between hex strings and final backtrace string).
