-
- <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 ‘<samp>-e <var>function</var></samp>’ option tells <code>gprof</code> to not print
- information about the function <var>function_name</var> (and its
- children…) 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 ‘<samp>[not printed]</samp>’. More than one ‘<samp>-e</samp>’ option may be
- given; only one <var>function_name</var> may be indicated with each ‘<samp>-e</samp>’
- 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 ‘<samp>-E</samp>’ option may be given; only one
- <var>function_name</var> may be indicated with each ‘<samp>-E</samp>’ option.
- </p>
- </dd>
- <dt><code>-f <var>function_name</var></code></dt>
- <dd><p>The ‘<samp>-f <var>function</var></samp>’ option causes <code>gprof</code> to limit the
- call graph to the function <var>function_name</var> and its children (and
- their children…). More than one ‘<samp>-f</samp>’ option may be given;
- only one <var>function_name</var> may be indicated with each ‘<samp>-f</samp>’
- option.
- </p>
- </dd>
- <dt><code>-F <var>function_name</var></code></dt>
- <dd><p>The ‘<samp>-F <var>function</var></samp>’ option works like the <code>-f</code> option, but
- only time spent in the function and its children (and their
- children…) will be used to determine total-time and
- percentages-of-time for the call graph. More than one ‘<samp>-F</samp>’ option
- may be given; only one <var>function_name</var> may be indicated with each
- ‘<samp>-F</samp>’ option. The ‘<samp>-F</samp>’ option overrides the ‘<samp>-E</samp>’ 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 > 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>.
