NAME
kcachegrind - a visualisation tool for valgrind profiling output
SYNOPSIS
kcachegrind [ generic-options ] [ -r exec ] [ trace-file ]
DESCRIPTION
KCachegrind is a visualisation tool for the profiling data generated by
calltree, a profiling skin for valgrind. Applications can be profiled
using calltree without being recompiled, and shared libraries and
plugin architectures are supported.
For visualising the output from other profiling tools, several
converters are available. On Debian systems these can be found in the
kcachegrind-converters package.
This application is part of the KDE Software Development Kit.
OPTIONS
Below are the kcachegrind-specific options. For a full summary of
options, run kcachegrind --help.
-r exec
Run the program exec under cachegrind.
trace-file

Full user documentation is available through the KDE Help Centre. You
can also enter the URL help:/kcachegrind/ directly into konqueror or
you can run `khelpcenter help:/kcachegrind/' from the command-line.
If the KDE Help Centre is not installed then you can install the
package kdesdk-doc-html and read this documentation in HTML format from
