.SH NAME
pprof2calltree \- convert APD profiling data to KCachegrind calltree format
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B pprof2calltree
\fB\-f\fP \fIinput\fP
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBpprof2calltree\fP reads the pprof profiling data output by
APD (http://pecl.php.net/apd/), 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 APD pprof trace file to convert.  This generally has a
name of the form \fIpprof.XXXXX.Y\fP.  The calltree output for
KCachegrind will then be written to the file \fIcachegrind.out.XXXXX.Y\fP.
.SH EXAMPLE
Suppose you profile a script with APD and obtain the pprof trace file
\fIpprof.12345.1\fP.  You can then work with this data in KCachegrind as
follows.
