Crate rstack

Thread stack traces of remote processes.

rstack (named after Java’s jstack) uses ptrace to capture stack traces of the threads of a remote process. It currently only supports Linux, and requires that the /proc pseudo-filesystem be mounted and accessible. Multiple unwinding implementations are supported via Cargo features:

• unwind: Uses libunwind.
• dw: Uses libdw, part of the elfutils project.

By default, the libunwind backend is used. You can switch to libdw via Cargo:

[dependencies]
rstack = { version = "0.1", features = ["dw"], default-features = false }
