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 tdecachegrind cachegrind.out.foo .RE .SH SEE ALSO .BR tdecachegrind (1). .SH AUTHOR This converter was written by George Schlossnagle <george@omniti.com>. .br This manual page was prepared by Ben Burton <bab@debian.org> for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others).
