.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
When running aa-genprof, you must specify a program to profile.  If the
specified program is not a fully-qualified path, aa-genprof will search \f(CW$PATH\fR
in order to find the program.
.PP
If a profile does not exist for the program, aa-genprof will create one using
\&\fBaa\-autodep\fR\|(1).
.PP
Genprof will then:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&   \- set the profile to complain mode 
\&
\&   \- write a mark to the system log
\&
\&   \- instruct the user to start the application to
\&     be profiled in another window and exercise its functionality
.Ve
.PP
It then presents the user with two options, (S)can system log for entries 
to add to profile and (F)inish.
.PP
If the user selects (S)can or hits return, aa-genprof will parse
the complain mode logs and iterate through generated violations
using \fBaa\-logprof\fR\|(1).
.PP
After the user finishes selecting profile entries based on violations 
that were detected during the program execution, aa-genprof will reload
the updated profiles in complain mode and again prompt the user for (S)can and 
(F)inish. This cycle can then be repeated as necessary until all application 
functionality has been exercised without generating access violations.
.PP
When the user eventually hits (F)inish, aa-genprof will set the main profile,
and any other profiles that were generated, into enforce mode and exit.
