RISKS
Percona Toolkit is mature, proven in the real world, and well tested, but all database tools can pose a risk to the system and the database server. Before using this tool, please:

•   Read the tool's documentation

•   Review the tool's known "BUGS"

•   Test the tool on a non-production server

•   Backup your production server and verify the backups

DESCRIPTION
pt-eustack-resolver is the tool that gets stack traces for a selected program with "eu-stack" and resolves symbols. This is companion tool for pt-pmp, called when option "--dumper=pteu" is specified.

"eu-stack" is a tool from elfutils <https://sourceware.org/elfutils> package that prints a stack for each thread in a process or core file. "eu-stack" is faster than gdb and have smaller overhead on the diagnosed process.

OUTPUT
Stack for each thread, formatted similarly to "gdb thread apply all bt" output.

ATTENTION
Using <PTDEBUG> might expose passwords. When debug is enabled, all command line parameters are shown in the output.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
You need "eu-stack" from the elfutils <https://sourceware.org/elfutils> package.
