NAME
ocamlprof - The Objective Caml profiler
SYNOPSIS
ocamlprof [ -f dump-file ] [ -F text ] filename ...
DESCRIPTION
The ocamlprof command prints execution counts gathered during the exe-
cution of a Objective Caml program instrumented with ocamlcp(1).
It produces a source listing of the program modules given as arguments
where execution counts have been inserted as comments. For instance,
ocamlprof foo.ml
prints the source code for the foo module, with comments indicating how
many times the functions in this module have been called. Naturally,
this information is accurate only if the source file has not been modi-
fied since the profiling execution took place.
OPTIONS
-f dumpfile
Specifies an alternate dump file of profiling information.
-F string
Specifies an additional string to be output with profiling
information. By default, ocamlprof(1) will annotate programs
with comments of the form (* n *) where n is the counter value
for a profiling point. With option -F s the annotation will be
(* sn *)
-impl filename
Compile the file filename as an implementation file, even if its
extension is not .ml.
-intf filename
Compile the file filename as an interface file, even if its
extension is not .mli.
-version
Print the version number of ocamlprof and exit.
-help or --help
Display a short usage summary and exit.
