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 option.  The  default  is  the  file
       a.out.  The section in the relocatable object 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  output.  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 determined, addr2line will print 0.

OPTIONS

       The long and short forms of options, shown here as alternatives, are equivalent.

       -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.   Besides  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 translated.   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 information for all enclosing
           scopes back to the first non-inlined function will also be printed.  For example, if  "main"  inlines
           "callee1"  which  inlines  "callee2",  and  address  is  from  "callee2",  the source information for
           "callee1" and "main" will also be printed.

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

       @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.
