COMMENT(!MOD!
|

|
|
A module allowing profiling for shell functions.

|
|
When loaded, the tt(zprof) module makes shell functions be
|
||
|
|
profiled. The profiling results can be obtained with the tt(zprof)
|
||
|
|
builtin command made available by this module. There is no way to turn
|
||
|
|
profiling off other than unloading this module.

findex(zprof)
|

item(tt(zprof) [ tt(-c) ])(
|
||
|
|
Without the tt(-c) option, tt(zprof) lists profiling results to
|
||
|
|
standard output. The format is comparable to that of commands like
|
||
|
|
tt(gprof).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
At the top there is a summary listing all functions that were called
|
||
|
|
at least once. This summary is sorted in decreasing order by the
|
||
|
|
amount of time spent in the functions themselves. Each line is
|
||
|
|
preceded by the number of the function in this order (which is used in
|
||
|
|
other parts of the list in suffixes of the form
|
||
|
|
`tt([)var(num)tt(])'). The second column gives the number of calls
|
||
|
|
made to this function. The next three columns list the time in
|
||
|
|
milliseconds spent in the function and its descendents, the average
|
||
|
|
time in milliseconds spent in the function and its descendents per
|
||
|
|
call and the percentage of time spent in all shell functions used in
|
||
|
|
this function and its descendents. The following three columns give
|
||
|
|
the same information, but counting only the time spent in the function
|
||
|
|
itself. The last column finally shows the name of the function.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After the summary, detailed information about every function that was
|
||
|
|
invoked is listed, sorted in decreasing order by the amount of time
|
||
|
|
spent in the functions and their descendents. Each of these entries
|
||
|
|
consists of descriptions for the functions that called the function
|
||
|
|
described, the function itself, and the functions that were called
|
||
|
|
from it. The description for the function itself has the same format
|
||
|
|
as in the summary (and shows the same information). The other lines
|
||
|
|
don't show the number of the function at the beginning and have their
|
||
|
|
function named indented to make it easier to visually distinguish the
|
||
|
|
line showing the function described in the section from the
|
||
|
|
surrounding lines.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The information shown for the calling and the called functions is
|
||
|
|
almost the same as in the summary, but is always only for the call arc
|
||
|
|
described. For example, for a calling function the column showing the
|
||
|
|
total running time lists the time spent in the described function and
|
||
|
|
its descendents when it was called from the calling
|
||
|
|
function. Likewise, for a called function, this columns lists the
|
||
|
|
total time spent in the called function and its descendents when it
|
||
|
|
was called from the function described.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For the calling and the called functions, the column showing the
|
||
|
|
number of calls to a function also show the total number of
|
||
|
|
invocations made to the called function after a slash.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As long as the tt(zprof) module is loaded, profiling will be done and
|
||
|
|
multiple invocations of the tt(zprof) builtin command will show the
|
||
|
|
times and numbers of calls since the module was loaded. With the
|
||
|
|
tt(-c) option, the tt(zprof) builtin command will reset its internal
|
||
|
|
counters and will not show the listing.
