Miscellaneous Options
=====================

`-d[NUM]'
`--debug[=NUM]'
     The `-d NUM' option specifies debugging options.  If NUM is not
     specified, enable all debugging.  Note: Debugging.

`-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.
