MEMSTOMP(1)							   MEMSTOMP(1)

NAME
       memstomp - detect function calls with overlapping memory regions

SYNOPSIS
       memstomp [-dk] application [argument...]

       memstomp -h

DESCRIPTION
       The  memstomp  utility  identifies  function calls that use overlapping
       memory regions in situations when such an overlap  is  not  allowed  by
       various	standards.  When  a  problem  is detected, memstomp displays a
       backtrace to help you debug the	problem,  and  if  executed  with  the
       --debug-info  command line option, it even uses the available debugging
       information. Since the backtrace code is not thread safe, memstomp also
       allows  you  to use the --kill option to immediately terminate the ana‐
       lyzed program when an invalid function call is detected.

       This version of memstomp inspects the following	function  calls:  mem‐
       cpy(),  memccpy(), mempcpy(), strcpy(), stpcpy(), strncpy(), stpncpy(),
       strcat(),  strncat(),  wmemcpy(),  wmempcpy(),	wcscpy(),   wcsncpy(),
       wcscat(), and wcsncat().

OPTIONS
       -d, --debug-info
	      Make use of debugging information to produce more detailed stack
	      traces.

       -k, --kill
	      Kill the analyzed application when a problem is detected.

       -h, --help
	      Display usage information and exit.

       -q, --quiet
	      Be less verbose
