How does the function debug-backtrace() differ from debug_print_backtrace() in PHP?

The function debug-backtrace() in PHP is used to generate a backtrace of the current execution point, providing information about the calling functions and their parameters. On the other hand, debug_print_backtrace() directly outputs the backtrace information to the output stream, making it suitable for immediate debugging purposes. 

// Using debug_backtrace() to generate a backtrace
function myFunction() {
    $backtrace = debug_backtrace();
    print_r($backtrace);
}

myFunction();
