Synopsis:

backtrace [count]

Print a stack trace, with the most recent frame at the top. With a positive number, print at most many entries.

In the listing produced, an arrow, -->, indicates the 'current frame'. The current frame determines the context used for many debugger commands such as source-line listing (list or the edit command.

Examples:

 backtrace    # Print a full stack trace
 backtrace 2  # Print only the top two entries
