Interpreting `gprof''s Output
*****************************

   `gprof' can produce several different output styles, the most
important of which are described below.  The simplest output styles
(file information, execution count, and function and file ordering) are
not described here, but are documented with the respective options that
trigger them.  Note: Output Options.

Flat Profile

The flat profile shows how much time was spent

executing directly in each function.

Call Graph

The call graph shows which functions called which

others, and how much time each function used when its subroutine calls are included.

Line-by-line

`gprof' can analyze individual source code lines

Annotated Source

The annotated source listing displays source code

labeled with execution counts
