+# libbacktrace
+A C library that may be linked into a C/C++ program to produce symbolic backtraces
+
+Initially written by Ian Lance Taylor <iant@golang.org>.
+
+This is version 1.0.
+It is likely that this will always be version 1.0.
+
+The libbacktrace library may be linked into a program or library and
+used to produce symbolic backtraces.
+Sample uses would be to print a detailed backtrace when an error
+occurs or to gather detailed profiling information.
+In general the functions provided by this library are async-signal-safe,
+meaning that they may be safely called from a signal handler.
+
+The libbacktrace library is provided under a BSD license.
+See the source files for the exact license text.
+
+The public functions are declared and documented in the header file
+backtrace.h, which should be #include'd by a user of the library.
+
+Building libbacktrace will generate a file backtrace-supported.h,
+which a user of the library may use to determine whether backtraces
+will work.
+See the source file backtrace-supported.h.in for the macros that it
+defines.
+
+As of October 2020, libbacktrace supports ELF, PE/COFF, Mach-O, and
+XCOFF executables with DWARF debugging information.
+In other words, it supports GNU/Linux, *BSD, macOS, Windows, and AIX.
+The library is written to make it straightforward to add support for
+other object file and debugging formats.
+
+The library relies on the C++ unwind API defined at
+https://itanium-cxx-abi.github.io/cxx-abi/abi-eh.html
+This API is provided by GCC and clang.
