OVS-PARSE-BACKTRACE(8)           Open vSwitch           OVS-PARSE-BACKTRACE(8)

NAME
       ovs-parse-backtrace - parses ovs-appctl backtrace output

SYNOPSIS
       ovs-appctl backtrace | ovs-parse-backtrace [<binary>]

       ovs-parse-backtrace [<binary>] < <backtrace>

DESCRIPTION
       In  some configurations, many Open vSwitch daemons can produce a series
       of backtraces using the ovs-appctl backtrace command.  Users  can  ana‐
       lyze  these backtraces to figure out what the given Open vSwitch daemon
       may be spending most of its time doing.  ovs-parse-backtrace makes this
       output easier to interpret.

       The ovs-appctl backtrace output must be  supplied  on  standard  input.
       The  binary  that  produced  the  output should be supplied as the sole
       non-option argument.  For best results, the binary  should  have  debug
       symbols.
