gprof: Miscellaneous Options

 
 4.3 Miscellaneous Options
 =========================
 
 '-d[NUM]'
 '--debug[=NUM]'
      The '-d NUM' option specifies debugging options.  If NUM is not
      specified, enable all debugging.  SeeDebugging 'gprof'
      Debugging.
 
 '-h'
 '--help'
      The '-h' option prints command line usage.
 
 '-ONAME'
 '--file-format=NAME'
      Selects the format of the profile data files.  Recognized formats
      are 'auto' (the default), 'bsd', '4.4bsd', 'magic', and 'prof' (not
      yet supported).
 
 '-s'
 '--sum'
      The '-s' option causes 'gprof' to summarize the information in the
      profile data files it read in, and write out a profile data file
      called 'gmon.sum', which contains all the information from the
      profile data files that 'gprof' read in.  The file 'gmon.sum' may
      be one of the specified input files; the effect of this is to merge
      the data in the other input files into 'gmon.sum'.
 
      Eventually you can run 'gprof' again without '-s' to analyze the
      cumulative data in the file 'gmon.sum'.
 
 '-v'
 '--version'
      The '-v' flag causes 'gprof' to print the current version number,
      and then exit.
