 `gprof' Command Summary
 ***********************
 
    After you have a profile data file `gmon.out', you can run `gprof'
 to interpret the information in it.  The `gprof' program prints a flat
 profile and a call graph on standard output.  Typically you would
 redirect the output of `gprof' into a file with `>'.
 
    You run `gprof' like this:
 
      gprof OPTIONS [EXECUTABLE-FILE [PROFILE-DATA-FILES...]] [> OUTFILE]
 
 Here square-brackets indicate optional arguments.
 
    If you omit the executable file name, the file `a.out' is used.  If
 you give no profile data file name, the file `gmon.out' 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.
 
    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.
 
    The order of these options does not matter.
