Ethan Jackson 013061cfa3 utilities: New helper ovs-parse-backtrace.
The new ovs-parse-backtrace utility makes the output of ovs-appctl
backtrace more human readable by removing duplicate traces and
converting addresses to function names.

.SH NAME
ovs\-parse\-backtrace \- parses ovs-appctl backtrace output
.
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBovs\-appctl backtrace\fR | \fBovs\-parse\-backtrace\fR [\fIbinary\fR]
.P
\fBovs\-parse\-backtrace\fR [\fIbinary\fR] < \fIbacktrace\fR
.
.SH DESCRIPTION
In some configurations, many Open vSwitch daemons can produce a series of
backtraces using the \fBovs\-appctl backtrace\fR command. Users can analyze
these backtraces to figure out what the given Open vSwitch daemon may be
spending most of its time doing. \fBovs\-parse\-backtrace\fR makes this output
easier to interpret.
.PP
The \fBovs\-appctl backtrace\fR 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.
.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
\fB\-\-help\fR
Prints a usage message and exits.
.P
\fB\-\-version\fR
Prints the version and exits.
