unw_get_proc_name - Man Page

#include <libunwind.h>

int unw_get_proc_name(unw_cursor_t *cp, char *bufp, size_t len, unw_word_t *offp);

The unw_get_proc_name() routine returns the name of the  procedure that created the stack frame identified by argument  cp. The bufp argument is a pointer to a character buffer  that is at least len bytes long. This buffer is used to return  the name of the procedure. The offp argument is a pointer to a  word that is used to return the byte offset of the instruction-pointer  saved in the stack frame identified by cp, relative to the start  of the procedure. For example, if procedure foo() starts at  address 0x40003000, then invoking unw_get_proc_name() on a  stack frame with an instruction pointer value of 0x40003080 would  return a value of 0x80 in the word pointed to by offp (assuming  the procedure is at least 0x80 bytes long).

Note that on some platforms there is no reliable way to distinguish  between procedure names and ordinary labels. Furthermore, if symbol  information has been stripped from a program, procedure names may be  completely unavailable or may be limited to those exported via a  dynamic symbol table. In such cases, unw_get_proc_name() may return the name of a label or a preceding (nearby) procedure.  However, the offset returned through offp is always relative to  the returned name, which ensures that the value (address) of the  returned name plus the returned offset will always be equal to the  instruction pointer of the stack frame identified by cp.

On successful completion, unw_get_proc_name() returns 0.  Otherwise the negative value of one of the error codes below is  returned.

unw_get_proc_name() is thread safe. If cursor cp is  in the local address space, this routine is also safe to use from a  signal handler.

UNW_EUNSPEC

An unspecified error occurred.

UNW_ENOINFO

Libunwind was unable to determine  the name of the procedure.

UNW_ENOMEM

The procedure name is too long to fit  in the buffer provided. A truncated version of the name has been  returned.

In addition, unw_get_proc_name() may return any error  returned by the access_mem() callback (see  unw_create_addr_space(3libunwind)).
