.SH NAME
whocalls \- report on the calls to a specific procedure
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
\fBwhocalls\fR [\fB-l\fR \fIwholib\fR] [\fB-s\fR] \fIfuncname\fR \fIexecutable\fR
          [\fIarguments\fR]...
.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
\fBwhocalls\fR is a simple example of a utility based on the
\fILink-Auditing\fR functionality of \fBld.so.1\fR(1) that permits the tracking
of a given function call. See the \fILinker and Libraries Guide\fR for a
detailed description of the \fILink-Auditing\fR mechanism. The \fIexecutable\fR
is run as normal with any associated arguments. Each time the procedure
\fIfuncname\fR is called, both the arguments to that procedure and a stack
trace are displayed on standard output.
.SH OPTIONS
.sp
.LP
The following options are supported:
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-l\fR \fIwholib\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 13n
Specifies an alternate \fBwho.so\fR \fILink-Auditing\fR library to use.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-s\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 13n
When available, examines and uses the \fB\&.symtab\fR symbol table for local
symbols. This is a little more expensive than using the \fB\&.dynsym\fR symbol
table, but can produce more detailed stack trace information.

.SH EXAMPLES

\fBExample 1 \fRTracking Function Calls
.sp
.LP
The following example tracks the calls to \fBprintf()\fR made by a simple
\fBhelloworld\fR program:

.sp
.in +2
.nf
example% \fBwhocalls printf helloworld\fR
printf(0x106e4, 0xef625310, 0xef621ba8)
        helloworld:main+0x10
        helloworld:_start+0x5c
Hello World
