GSTACK(1)                                     Linux Programmer's Manual                                     GSTACK(1)



NAME
       gstack - print a stack trace of a running process


SYNOPSIS
       gstack pid


DESCRIPTION
       gstack  attaches to the active process named by the pid on the command line, and prints out an execution stack
       trace.  If ELF symbols exist in the binary (usually the case unless you  have  run  strip(1)),  then  symbolic
       addresses are printed as well.

       If  the process is part of a thread group, then gstack will print out a stack trace for each of the threads in
       the group.

       nm(1), ptrace(2), gdb(1)
