KPROF(10.1) KPROF(10.1)
NAME
kprof - display kernel profiling data
SYNOPSIS
kprof kernel kpdata
DESCRIPTION
Kprof presents the data accumulated by the kernel profiling
device, kprof(3). The symbol table is taken from the file
kernel, the executable file of the operating system kernel
that was profiled. The data file kpdata is usually a copy
of /dev/kpdata from the device running the profiling kernel.
The symbol table is read and correlated with the profile
data. For each symbol, the time (in milliseconds) spent
executing between that symbol and the next is printed (in
decreasing order), together with the percentage of the total
time.
