Remarks

You can use the ln command to help determine what a pointer is pointing to. This command can also be useful when you are looking at a corrupted stack to determine which procedure made a call.

If source line information is available, the ln display also includes the source file name and line number information.

If you are using a source server, the ln command displays information that is related to the source server.
