NAME

       dprof2calltree  -  convert  perl's  DProf profiling data to KCachegrind
       calltree format

SYNOPSIS

       dprof2calltree -f input [ -o output ]

DESCRIPTION

       dprof2calltree reads the  tmon.out  profiling  data  output  by  Perl's
       Devel::DProf  profiling  package,  and converts it into calltree format
       for use by KCachegrind.

       This utility is part of the KDE Software Development Kit.

OPTIONS

       -f input
              Specifies the DProf tmon.out file to convert.

       -o output
              Write  the  calltree  output  to  the  given  file  for  use  by
              KCachegrind.   If omitted, the output will be written to file of
              the form cachgrind.out.<input>.

EXAMPLE

       If you run a perl script as:

              perl -d:DProf yourscript.pl

       then this will write profiling data to tmon.out.   You  can  then  work
       with this data in KCachegrind as follows:

              dprof2calltree -f tmin.out -o cachegrind.out.foo
              kcachegrind cachegrind.out.foo

SEE ALSO

       kcachegrind(1).
