<h3 class="section">4.4 Deprecated Options</h3>

<p>These options have been replaced with newer versions that use symspecs.
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>-e <var>function_name</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>The &lsquo;<samp>-e <var>function</var></samp>&rsquo; option tells <code>gprof</code> to not print
information about the function <var>function_name</var> (and its
children&hellip;) in the call graph.  The function will still be listed
as a child of any functions that call it, but its index number will be
shown as &lsquo;<samp>[not printed]</samp>&rsquo;.  More than one &lsquo;<samp>-e</samp>&rsquo; option may be
given; only one <var>function_name</var> may be indicated with each &lsquo;<samp>-e</samp>&rsquo;
option.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-E <var>function_name</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>The <code>-E <var>function</var></code> option works like the <code>-e</code> option, but
time spent in the function (and children who were not called from
anywhere else), will not be used to compute the percentages-of-time for
the call graph.  More than one &lsquo;<samp>-E</samp>&rsquo; option may be given; only one
<var>function_name</var> may be indicated with each &lsquo;<samp>-E</samp>&rsquo; option.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-f <var>function_name</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>The &lsquo;<samp>-f <var>function</var></samp>&rsquo; option causes <code>gprof</code> to limit the
call graph to the function <var>function_name</var> and its children (and
their children&hellip;).  More than one &lsquo;<samp>-f</samp>&rsquo; option may be given;
only one <var>function_name</var> may be indicated with each &lsquo;<samp>-f</samp>&rsquo;
option.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-F <var>function_name</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>The &lsquo;<samp>-F <var>function</var></samp>&rsquo; option works like the <code>-f</code> option, but
only time spent in the function and its children (and their
children&hellip;) will be used to determine total-time and
percentages-of-time for the call graph.  More than one &lsquo;<samp>-F</samp>&rsquo; option
may be given; only one <var>function_name</var> may be indicated with each
&lsquo;<samp>-F</samp>&rsquo; option.  The &lsquo;<samp>-F</samp>&rsquo; option overrides the &lsquo;<samp>-E</samp>&rsquo; option.
</p>
</dd>
</dl>


<p>Note that only one function can be specified with each <code>-e</code>,
<code>-E</code>, <code>-f</code> or <code>-F</code> option.  To specify more than one
function, use multiple options.  For example, this command:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">gprof -e boring -f foo -f bar myprogram &gt; gprof.output
</pre></div>

<p>lists in the call graph all functions that were reached from either
<code>foo</code> or <code>bar</code> and were not reachable from <code>boring</code>.
