💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, meet OPGPROF(1) from the General Commands Manual — the command is opgprof, and her whole job is to produce gprof-format profile data. iconic behavior, honestly.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

opgprof [ options ] [profile specification]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

opgprof outputs gprof-format profile data for a given binary image, straight from an OProfile session. no cap, that’s the vibe 💅

If you’re like “wait, how do I even write profile specifications?” — see oprofile(1), bestie. she explains it.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --help / -? / --usage — show help message. cute and helpful.
  • --version / -v — show version.
  • --verbose / -V [options] — give verbose debugging output. yes, she’s talking a lot, but it’s useful.
  • --session-dir=dir_path — use the sample database from the specified directory dir_path instead of the default location. If --session-dir is not specified, then opgprof will search for samples in <current_dir>/oprofile_data first. If that directory does not exist, the standard session-dir of /var/lib/oprofile is used.
  • --image-path / -p [paths] — comma-separated list of additional paths to search for binaries. This is needed to find modules in kernels 2.6 and upwards. very “where are the binaries hiding” energy.
  • --root / -R [path] — a path to a filesystem to search for additional binaries.
  • --threshold / -t [percentage] — only output data for symbols that have more than the given percentage of total samples. picky? no, curated.
  • --output-filename / -o [file] — output to the given file instead of the default, gmon.out.

🌸 ENVIRONMENT 🌸

No special environment variables are recognized by opgprof. literally none. zero. zilch. she’s low-maintenance like that 🫶

🧚 FILES 🧚

  • <session_dir>/samples — the location of the generated sample files.
