I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but when I run this:

--> emacs --batch -Q --eval "(debug-on-entry 'display-buffer-pop-up-window)" foo bar baz

I get this:

Debugger entered--entering a function:
  display-buffer-pop-up-window(#<buffer bar> ((largest) (lru)) ((pop-up-frame) (reuse-window other other visible) (reuse-window nil same visible) (pop-up-window (largest) (lru)) (reuse-window other other nil) (reuse-window-even-sizes . t) (reuse-window nil same visible) (pop-up-window (largest) (lru)) (pop-up-frame) (pop-up-frame-alist (height . 24) (width . 80) (unsplittable . t)) (reuse-window nil other visible) (reuse-window-even-sizes . t)))
* display-buffer(#<buffer bar> other-window nil)
  pop-to-buffer(#<buffer bar> other-window nil)
  switch-to-buffer-other-window(#<buffer bar>)
  find-file-other-window("/home/void/bar")
  command-line-1(("--eval" "(debug-on-entry 'display-buffer-pop-up-window)" "foo" "bar" "baz"))
  command-line()
  normal-top-level()

Cheers,
David
