Synopsis

function.caller

Description

The caller property of a Function object is a reference to the function that invoked the current one. If the function was invoked from the top level of a JavaScript program, then caller will be null. This property may only be used from within the function, i.e., the caller property is only defined for a function while that function is executing.

See Function for more information.
