.K - Display User Stack Trace

Display the user stack-trace for a given thread slot.

Syntax:

─┬── .K  ──┬──┬──────────┬────────────────────────────────────
   ├── .KS ──┤  ├── #    ──┤
   └── .KB ──┘  ├── *    ──┤
                └── slot ──┘

Parameters:

• K
  Display stack frame trace assuming the default operation size from the descriptor associated with the code selector of the user registers for the specified slot.
  .KS
  Display frame trace assuming an operation size of 16-bits (small-model).
  .KB
  Display frame trace assuming an operation size of 32-bits (big-model).
  slot
  Display stack trace for thread slot slot.

  The following short-hand may be used for the slot number:

  • The current (last) thread the dispatcher gave control to. This value is taken from the word a global label:

         _TaskNumber
    

    
    
  • The debugger default thread slot. This defaults to the current slot unless overridden by the .S command.

    If no slot number is given then all thread slots are displayed, grouped by process.

  Results & Notes:

  The .K command operates as a K command but with the starting stack frame and code segment address implicitly determined from the user's register as displayed by the .R command.

  The output from the .K command displayes exactly as the K command but with the slot-number prefixed to the return address when an out-of-context stack trace is displayed. See example output below.

  Warning:

  The .K command is subject to the same limitations as noted for the K command. See the K command description for details.

  Example output from an out-of-context stack trace:

  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------##.S 8
  ##.K 37
  0037|a6e7:0000006f 03d4 0000 00c5 006f
  0037|a6e7:00000000 0000 0000 0000 0000
  ##-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
