Description
In some configurations, many Open vSwitch daemons can produce a series of backtraces using the ovs-appctlbacktrace command. Users can analyze these backtraces to figure out what the given Open vSwitch daemon
may be spending most of its time doing. ovs-parse-backtrace makes this output easier to interpret.
The ovs-appctlbacktrace 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.
