bt - view the backtrace of the specified process
$ bt <pid>
This program is used to inspect the current executable state of a process. It will read the stack of each thread in the process, and symbolicate the addresses for each frame in the stack producing a backtrace.
NOTE:
Kernel addresses will not be available unless you are super user.
If Kernel addresses are available, they will not be symbolicated unless the current user has access to the /boot/Kernel
file.
