  63. <p>These options have been replaced with newer versions that use symspecs.

  65. <dl compact="compact">
  66. <dt><code>-e <var>function_name</var></code></dt>
  67. <dd><p>The &lsquo;<samp>-e <var>function</var></samp>&rsquo; option tells <code>gprof</code> to not print
  68. information about the function <var>function_name</var> (and its
  69. children&hellip;) in the call graph. The function will still be listed
  70. as a child of any functions that call it, but its index number will be
  71. shown as &lsquo;<samp>[not printed]</samp>&rsquo;. More than one &lsquo;<samp>-e</samp>&rsquo; option may be
  72. given; only one <var>function_name</var> may be indicated with each &lsquo;<samp>-e</samp>&rsquo;
  73. option.
  74. </p>
  75. </dd>
  76. <dt><code>-E <var>function_name</var></code></dt>
  77. <dd><p>The <code>-E <var>function</var></code> option works like the <code>-e</code> option, but
  78. time spent in the function (and children who were not called from
  79. anywhere else), will not be used to compute the percentages-of-time for
  80. the call graph. More than one &lsquo;<samp>-E</samp>&rsquo; option may be given; only one
  81. <var>function_name</var> may be indicated with each &lsquo;<samp>-E</samp>&rsquo; option.
  82. </p>
  83. </dd>
  84. <dt><code>-f <var>function_name</var></code></dt>
  85. <dd><p>The &lsquo;<samp>-f <var>function</var></samp>&rsquo; option causes <code>gprof</code> to limit the
  86. call graph to the function <var>function_name</var> and its children (and
  87. their children&hellip;). More than one &lsquo;<samp>-f</samp>&rsquo; option may be given;
  88. only one <var>function_name</var> may be indicated with each &lsquo;<samp>-f</samp>&rsquo;
  89. option.
  90. </p>
  91. </dd>
  92. <dt><code>-F <var>function_name</var></code></dt>
  93. <dd><p>The &lsquo;<samp>-F <var>function</var></samp>&rsquo; option works like the <code>-f</code> option, but
  94. only time spent in the function and its children (and their
  95. children&hellip;) will be used to determine total-time and
  96. percentages-of-time for the call graph. More than one &lsquo;<samp>-F</samp>&rsquo; option
  97. may be given; only one <var>function_name</var> may be indicated with each
  98. &lsquo;<samp>-F</samp>&rsquo; option. The &lsquo;<samp>-F</samp>&rsquo; option overrides the &lsquo;<samp>-E</samp>&rsquo; option.

  101. </dl>
  102. <p>Note that only one function can be specified with each <code>-e</code>,
  103. <code>-E</code>, <code>-f</code> or <code>-F</code> option. To specify more than one
  104. function, use multiple options. For example, this command:
  105. </p>
  106. <div class="example">
  107. <pre class="example">gprof -e boring -f foo -f bar myprogram &gt; gprof.output
  108. </pre></div>
  109. <p>lists in the call graph all functions that were reached from either
  110. <code>foo</code> or <code>bar</code> and were not reachable from <code>boring</code>.
