UNW_IS_SIGNAL_FRAME(3)					       Programming Library					    UNW_IS_SIGNAL_FRAME(3)

NAME

       unw_is_signal_frame -- check if current frame is a signal frame

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libunwind.h>

       int unw_is_signal_frame(unw_cursor_t *cp);

DESCRIPTION

       The unw_is_signal_frame() routine returns a positive value if the current frame identified by cp is a signal frame, and a value of 0 other-
       wise. For the purpose of this discussion, a signal frame is a frame that was created in response to a  potentially  asynchronous  interrup-
       tion.  For UNIX and UNIX-like platforms, such frames are normally created by the kernel when delivering a signal.  In a kernel-environment,
       a signal frame might, for example, correspond to a frame created in response to a device interrupt.

       Signal frames are somewhat unusual because the asynchronous nature of the events that create them require storing the contents of registers
       that are normally treated as scratch (``caller-saved'') registers.

RETURN VALUE

       On  successful completion, unw_is_signal_frame() returns a positive value if the current frame is a signal frame, or 0 if it is not. Other-
       wise, a negative value of one of the error-codes below is returned.

THREAD AND SIGNAL SAFETY

       unw_is_signal_frame() is thread-safe as well as safe to use from a signal handler.

ERRORS

       UNW_ENOINFO
	       Libunwind is unable to determine whether or not the current frame is a signal frame.

NAME

       unw_get_proc_name -- get name of current procedure

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libunwind.h>

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

DESCRIPTION

       The  unw_get_proc_name()  routine returns the name of the procedure that created the stack frame identified by argument cp.  The bufp argu-
       ment 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 preceeding (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.

RETURN VALUE

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

THREAD AND SIGNAL SAFETY

       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.

ERRORS

       UNW_EUNSPEC
	       An unspecified error occurred.

       UNW_ENOINFO
	       Libunwind was unable to determine the name of the procedure.

       UNW_ENOMME
	       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() call-back (see unw_create_addr_space(3)).
