<h3 class="section">13.5 Call Stack</h3>

<p>The function being debugged may be the leaf node of a series of function calls.
After examining values in the current subroutine it may turn out that the
problem occurred in earlier pieces of code.  Use <code>dbup</code> and <code>dbdown</code>
to move up and down through the series of function calls to locate where
variables first took on the wrong values.  <code>dbstack</code> shows the entire
series of function calls and at what level debugging is currently taking place.

<dd><p>Display or return current debugging function stack information.
</p>
<p>With optional argument <var>n</var>, omit the <var>n</var> innermost stack frames.
</p>
<p>Although accepted, the argument <var>-completenames</var> is silently ignored.
Octave always returns absolute filenames.
</p>
<p>The arguments <var>n</var> and <var>-completenames</var> can be both specified in any
order.
</p>
<p>The optional return argument <var>stack</var> is a struct array with the
following fields:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt>file</dt>
<dd><p>The name of the m-file where the function code is located.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>name</dt>
<dd><p>The name of the function with a breakpoint.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>line</dt>
<dd><p>The line number of an active breakpoint.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>column</dt>
<dd><p>The column number of the line where the breakpoint begins.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>scope</dt>
<dd><p>Undocumented.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>context</dt>
<dd><p>Undocumented.
</p></dd>
</dl>

<p>The return argument <var>idx</var> specifies which element of the <var>stack</var>
struct array is currently active.
