examples/tracing/stack_buildid_example.py

#!/usr/bin/python
#
# An example usage of stack_build_id
# Most of the code here is borrowed from tools/profile.py
#
# Steps for using this code
# 1) Start ping program in one terminal eg invocation: ping google.com -i0.001
# 2) Change the path of libc specified in b.add_module() below
# 3) Invoke the script as 'python stack_buildid_example.py'
# 4) o/p of the tool is as shown below
#  python example/tracing/stack_buildid_example.py
#    sendto
#    -                ping (5232)
#        2
