+.Os "Mac OS X"
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm backtrace ,
+.Nm backtrace_symbols ,
+.Nm backtrace_symbols_fd
+.Nd call stack backtrace and display functions
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In execinfo.h
+.Ft int
+.Fo backtrace
+.Fa "void** array"
+.Fa "int size"
+.Fc
+.Ft char**
+.Fo backtrace_symbols
+.Fa "void* const* array"
+.Fa "int size"
+.Fc
+.Ft void
+.Fo backtrace_symbols_fd
+.Fa "void* const* array"
+.Fa "int size"
+.Fa "int fd"
+.Fc
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+These routines provide a mechanism to examine the current thread's call stack.
+.Pp
+.Fn backtrace
+writes the function return addresses of the current call stack to the array of
+pointers referenced by
+.Fa array .
+At most,
+.Fa size
+pointers are written. The number of pointers actually written to
+.Fa array
+is returned.
+.Pp
+.Fn backtrace_symbols
+attempts to transform a call stack obtained by
+.Fn backtrace
+into an array of human-readable strings using
+.Fn dladdr .
+The array of strings returned has
+.Fa size
+elements. It is allocated using
+.Fn malloc
+and should be released using
+.Fn free .
+There is no need to free the individual strings in the array.
+.Pp
+.Fn backtrace_symbols_fd
+performs the same operation as
+.Fn backtrace_symbols ,
+but the resulting strings are immediately written to the file descriptor
+.Fa fd ,
+and are not returned.
+.Sh EXAMPLE
+.Pp
+ #include <execinfo.h>
+ #include <stdio.h>
+ ...
+ void* callstack[128];
+ int i, frames = backtrace(callstack, 128);
+ char** strs = backtrace_symbols(callstack, frames);
+ for (i = 0; i < frames; ++i) {
+ printf("%s\\n", strs[i]);
+ }
+ free(strs);
+ ...
+.Pp
+.Sh HISTORY
+These functions first appeared in
+Mac OS X 10.5.
