							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<p>After you have a profile data file <span class="file">gmon.out</span>, you can run <code>gprof</code>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								to interpret the information in it.  The <code>gprof</code> program prints a
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								flat profile and a call graph on standard output.  Typically you would
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								redirect the output of <code>gprof</code> into a file with <span class="samp">></span>.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								   <p>You run <code>gprof</code> like this:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<pre class="smallexample">     gprof <var>options</var> [<var>executable-file</var> [<var>profile-data-files</var>...]] [> <var>outfile</var>]
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								</pre>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								   <p class="noindent">Here square-brackets indicate optional arguments.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								   <p>If you omit the executable file name, the file <span class="file">a.out</span> is used.  If
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								you give no profile data file name, the file <span class="file">gmon.out</span> is used.  If
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								any file is not in the proper format, or if the profile data file does not
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								appear to belong to the executable file, an error message is printed.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								   <p>You can give more than one profile data file by entering all their names
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								after the executable file name; then the statistics in all the data files
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								are summed together.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								   <p>The order of these options does not matter.
