== NAME ==<br />
prof - display profile data<br />
<br />
== SYNOPSIS ==<br />
prof [ -v ] [ -a ] [ -l ] [ -_l_o_w [ -_h_i_g_h ] ] [ file ]<br />
<br />
== DESCRIPTION ==<br />
_P_r_o_f interprets the file _m_o_n._o_u_t produced by the _m_o_n_i_t_o_r<br />
subroutine. Under default modes, the symbol table in the<br />
named object file (_a._o_u_t default) is read and correlated<br />
with the _m_o_n._o_u_t profile file. For each external symbol,<br />
the percentage of time spent executing between that symbol<br />
and the next is printed (in decreasing order), together with<br />
the number of times that routine was called and the number<br />
of milliseconds per call.<br />
<br />
If the -a option is used, all symbols are reported rather<br />
than just external symbols. If the -l option is used, the<br />
output is listed by symbol value rather than decreasing per-<br />
centage.<br />
<br />
If the -v option is used, all printing is suppressed and a<br />
graphic version of the profile is produced on the standard<br />
output for display by the _p_l_o_t(1) filters. The numbers _l_o_w<br />
and _h_i_g_h, by default 0 and 100, cause a selected percentage<br />
of the profile to be plotted with accordingly higher resolu-<br />
tion.<br />
<br />
In order for the number of calls to a routine to be tallied,<br />
the -p option of _c_c must have been given when the file con-<br />
taining the routine was compiled. This option also arranges<br />
for the _m_o_n._o_u_t file to be produced automatically.<br />
<br />
