The routine fills up to \Var{size} addresses in the array +pointed by \Var{buffer}. The routine is only available for local unwinding. + +Note that many (but not all) systems provide practically identical function +called \Func{backtrace}(). The prototype for this function is usually obtained +by including the \File{$<$execinfo.h$>$} header file -- a prototype for +\Func{backtrace}() is not provided by \Prog{libunwind}. \Prog{libunwind} weakly +aliases \Func{backtrace}() to \Func{unw\_backtrace}(), so when a program +calling \Func{backtrace}() is linked against \Prog{libunwind}, it may end up +calling \Func{unw\_backtrace}(). + +\section{Return Value} + +The routine returns the number of addresses stored in the array pointed by +\Var{buffer}.
