VERILATOR_PROFCFUNC(1)

✨ NAME ✨

verilator_profcfunc — okay bestie, this is the program that reads a gprof report created with Verilator --prof-cfuncs. It's verilator_profcfunc(1), from the User Commands girlies, and it's literally here to make your profiling report make sense. 💖

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the vibe: usage is literally:

usage: verilator_profcfunc [-h] [--debug] filename

Read gprof report created with Verilator --prof-cfuncs — that's the whole assignment, no cap.

Verilator_profcfunc reads a profile report created by gprof. The names of the functions are then transformed, assuming the user used Verilator's --prof-cfuncs, and a report is printed showing the percentage of time, etc, in each Verilog block. It's giving “let me translate this profile into Verilog-block realness.” 💅

For documentation see https://verilator.org/guide/latest/exe_verilator_profcfunc.html

🎀 positional arguments: 🎀

• filename — input gprof output to process. That's the file you're feeding it, fr fr. 🍓

🔥 options: 🔥

• -h, --help — show this help message and exit. Iconic, zero notes. ✨
• --debug — enable debug. Turn on the debug vibes when you need to see what's going on. 🦋
