DPROF2CALLTREE(1) General Commands Manual DPROF2CALLTREE(1)

NAME

dprof2calltree - convert perl's DProf profiling data to KCachegrind calltree format

SYNOPSIS

dprof2calltree -f input [ -o output ]

DESCRIPTION

dprof2calltree reads the tmon.out profiling data output by Perl's Devel::DProf profiling package, and converts it into calltree format for use by KCachegrind.

This utility is part of the KDE Software Development Kit.

OPTIONS

Specifies the DProf tmon.out file to convert.
Write the calltree output to the given file for use by KCachegrind. If omitted, the output will be written to file of the form cachgrind.out.<input>.

EXAMPLE

If you run a perl script as:

perl -d:DProf yourscript.pl

then this will write profiling data to tmon.out. You can then work with this data in KCachegrind as follows:

dprof2calltree -f tmin.out -o cachegrind.out.foo
kcachegrind cachegrind.out.foo
