                          to skip while getting caller name.

    :returns:
        - package (string): caller package.
        - module (string): caller module.
        - klass (string): caller classname if one otherwise None.
        - caller (string): caller function or method (if a class exist).
        - line (int): the line of the call.
        - An empty string is returned if skipped levels exceed stack height.
