#include <qp0ztrc.h>
int Qp0zDumpTargetStack(int handle,
const char *label);
The Qp0zDumpTargetStack() function dumps a formatted representation of the call stack of the target thread to the user trace. The target thread is specified by handle, which can be filled in using the pthread_t structure. The formatted call stack is labeled with the text string specified by label. The formatted call stack shows the library, program, module, and procedure information associated with each frame on the call stack at the time the function was called.
The formatted dump of the target call stack shows the oldest entries first, followed by newer entries.
For consistent results, ensure that the target thread specified in the handle parameter is blocked or waiting for some resource and not actively running.
If a target thread that is actively running is specified, the stack trace information may be inconsistent.
An application should not use the tracing function in performance critical code. These functions are intended for debugging exception or error conditions. The user trace is a permanent user space object named QP0Z<jobnumber> in the QUSRSYS library. The user trace is created the first time any thread in a job writes trace output. See the Change User Trace (CHGUSRTRC), Dump User Trace (DMPUSRTRC) and Delete User Trace (DLTUSRTRC) CL commands for information about manipulating the user trace properties and objects.
None.
| 0 | Qp0zDumpTargetStack() was successful. |
| value | Qp0zDumpTargetStack() was not successful. The value returned is an errno indicating the failure. |
If Qp0zDumpTargetStack() is not successful, the return value usually indicates one of the following errors. Under some conditions, the return value could indicate an error other than those listed here.
The address used for an argument is not correct.
In attempting to use an argument in a call, the system detected an address that is not valid.
While attempting to access a parameter passed to this function, the system detected an address that is not valid.
No item could be found that matches the specified value.
The following example uses Qp0zDumpTargetStack() and Qp0zUprintf() functions to produce trace output.

This trace output was generated after the test case was run by using the CL command DMPUSRTRC JOB(107141/USER/TPZTSTK0) OUTPUT(*STDOUT). The above example program ran as job 107141/USER/TPZTSTK0.
Note the following in the trace output:
