This option affects annotated source output only.
By default, only the lines at the beginning of a basic-block
are annotated. If this option is specified, every line in
a basic-block is annotated by repeating the annotation for the
first line. This behavior is similar to \f(CW\*(C`tcov\*(C'\fR's \fB\-a\fR.

The \fB\-s\fR option causes \f(CW\*(C`gprof\*(C'\fR to summarize the information
in the profile data files it read in, and write out a profile data
file called \fIgmon.sum\fR, which contains all the information from
.Sp
Eventually you can run \f(CW\*(C`gprof\*(C'\fR again without \fB\-s\fR to analyze the
cumulative data in the file \fIgmon.sum\fR.

The \fB\-e\fR \fIfunction\fR option tells \f(CW\*(C`gprof\*(C'\fR to not print
information about the function \fIfunction_name\fR (and its
shown as \fB[not printed]\fR. More than one \fB\-e\fR option may be

The \f(CW\*(C`\-E \f(CIfunction\f(CW\*(C'\fR option works like the \f(CW\*(C`\-e\*(C'\fR 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 \fB\-E\fR option may be given; only one
\&\fIfunction_name\fR may be indicated with each \fB\-E\fR option.

.IX Item "-f function_name"
The \fB\-f\fR \fIfunction\fR option causes \f(CW\*(C`gprof\*(C'\fR to limit the
call graph to the function \fIfunction_name\fR and its children (and
their children...). More than one \fB\-f\fR option may be given;
only one \fIfunction_name\fR may be indicated with each \fB\-f\fR

The \fB\-F\fR \fIfunction\fR option works like the \f(CW\*(C`\-f\*(C'\fR option, but
only time spent in the function and its children (and their
\&\fB\-F\fR option. The \fB\-F\fR option overrides the \fB\-E\fR option.
