.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
This command controls MINIX system profiling. There is support for
|
|
statistical profiling, which causes a CMOS interrupt to regularly sample
|
|
the position of the program counter. To enable support for this,
|
|
recompile the kernel with SPROFILE in
|
|
<minix/config.h> set to 1.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.IP start
|
|
start measuring using statistical profiling.
|
|
.IP stop
|
|
stop measuring using statistical profiling.
|
|
.IP "-m"
|
|
memory buffer size used to store profiling data in, allocated by the
|
|
profile command.
|
|
.IP "-o outfile"
|
|
output file.
|
|
.IP "-f frequency"
|
|
frequency for statistical sampling.
|
|
.PP
|
|
After you have the output file, analysis can be done using the
|
|
.B sprofalyze
|
|
command.
