        "DESCRIPTION": {
            "content": "addr2line translates addresses into file names and line numbers.  Given an address in an\nexecutable or an offset in a section of a relocatable object, it uses the debugging\ninformation to figure out which file name and line number are associated with it.\n\nThe executable or relocatable object to use is specified with the -e option.  The default is\nthe file a.out.  The section in the relocatable object to use is specified with the -j\noption.\n\naddr2line has two modes of operation.\n\nIn the first, hexadecimal addresses are specified on the command line, and addr2line displays\nthe file name and line number for each address.\n\nIn the second, addr2line reads hexadecimal addresses from standard input, and prints the file\nname and line number for each address on standard output.  In this mode, addr2line may be\nused in a pipe to convert dynamically chosen addresses.\n\nThe format of the output is FILENAME:LINENO.  By default each input address generates one\nline of output.\n\nTwo options can generate additional lines before each FILENAME:LINENO line (in that order).\n\nIf the -a option is used then a line with the input address is displayed.\n\nIf the -f option is used, then a line with the FUNCTIONNAME is displayed.  This is the name\nof the function containing the address.\n\nOne option can generate additional lines after the FILENAME:LINENO line.\n\nIf the -i option is used and the code at the given address is present there because of\ninlining by the compiler then additional lines are displayed afterwards.  One or two extra\nlines (if the -f option is used) are displayed for each inlined function.\n\nAlternatively if the -p option is used then each input address generates a single, long,\noutput line containing the address, the function name, the file name and the line number.  If\nthe -i option has also been used then any inlined functions will be displayed in the same\nmanner, but on separate lines, and prefixed by the text (inlined by).\n\nIf the file name or function name can not be determined, addr2line will print two question\nmarks in their place.  If the line number can not be determined, addr2line will print 0.\n",
