El argumento .I buf apunta a .I tambuf bytes de memoria. Cada 10 milisegundos virtuales, se examina el contador de programa del usuario (PC): se resta .I desplto y el resultado se multiplica por .I escala y se divide por 65536. Si el valor resultante es menor que .I tambuf la entrada correspondiente de .I buf se incrementa. Si .I buf es un puntero nulo, el perfil se desactiva. .SH "VALOR DEVUELTO" Siempre se devuelve cero. .SH FALLOS .B profil no puede emplearse en un programa que también utilice contadores incrementales \fBITIMER_PROF\fP. Un verdadero análisis de perfil del núcleo proporciona resultados más exactos. Libc 4.4 contiene un parche del núcleo que proporciona una llamada al sistema profil. .SH "VÉASE TAMBIÉN" .BR gprof "(1), " setitimer "(2), " signal "(2), " sigaction (2)
