ocamlprof (1)

NAME

       ocamlprof - The Objective Caml profiler

SYNOPSIS

       ocamlprof [ -f dump-file ] [ -F text ] filename ...

DESCRIPTION

       The  ocamlprof command prints execution counts gathered during the exe-
       cution of a Objective Caml program instrumented with ocamlcp(1).

       It produces a source listing of the program modules given as  arguments
       where execution counts have been inserted as comments. For instance,

       ocamlprof foo.ml

       prints the source code for the foo module, with comments indicating how
       many times the functions in this module have  been  called.  Naturally,
       this information is accurate only if the source file has not been modi-
       fied since the profiling execution took place.

OPTIONS

       -f dumpfile
              Specifies an alternate dump file of profiling information.   The
              default is the file ocamlprof.dump in the current directory.

       -F string
              Specifies  an  additional  string  to  be  output with profiling
              information.  By default, ocamlprof will annotate  progams  with
              comments  of the form (* n *) where n is the counter value for a
              profiling point. With option -F string the  annotation  will  be
              (* s n *)
