.SH NAME
dprof2calltree \- convert perl's DProf profiling data to KCachegrind calltree format
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B dprof2calltree
\fB\-f\fP \fIinput\fP
[ \fB\-o\fP \fIoutput\fP ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBdprof2calltree\fP reads the \fItmon.out\fP profiling data output by
Perl's Devel::DProf profiling package, and converts it into calltree format
for use by KCachegrind.
.PP
This utility is part of the KDE Software Development Kit.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
\fB\-f\fP \fIinput\fP
Specifies the DProf \fItmon.out\fP file to convert.
.TP
\fB\-o\fP \fIoutput\fP
Write the calltree output to the given file for use by KCachegrind.
If omitted, the output will be written to file of the form
\fIcachgrind.out.<input>\fP.
.SH EXAMPLE
If you run a perl script as:
.PP
.RS
perl \-d:DProf yourscript.pl
.RE
.PP
then this will write profiling data to \fItmon.out\fP.  You can then
work with this data in KCachegrind as follows:
.PP
.RS
dprof2calltree \-f tmin.out \-o cachegrind.out.foo
.br
kcachegrind cachegrind.out.foo
.RE
.SH SEE ALSO
.BR kcachegrind (1).
