NAME

       unw_regname -- get register name

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libunwind.h>

       const char *unw_regname(unw_regnum_t regnum);

DESCRIPTION

       The  unw_regname()  routine  returns  a  printable  name for register regnum.  If regnum is an invalid or
       otherwise unrecognized register number, a string consisting of three  question  marks  is  returned.  The
       returned  string  is  statically allocated and therefore guaranteed to remain valid until the application
       terminates.

RETURN VALUE

       The unw_regname() routine cannot fail and always returns a valid (non-NULL) string.

THREAD AND SIGNAL SAFETY

       The unw_regname() routine is thread-safe as well as safe to use from a signal handler.
