- Please help me in analyzing the profiler output.
-
- The prof outputs under the following headings (on a SCO UNIX system)
-
- %Time Seconds CumSecs #calls msec/call Name
-
-
- The man page says
-
- For each external text symbol the percentage of time spent executing
- between the address of that symbol and the address of the next is
- printed, together with the number of times that function was called and
- the average number of milliseconds per call.
-
- What are the values Seconds and CumSecs?
-
- What does "between the address of that symbol and the address of next"
- mean?
-
- When -s option is given to the prof command it gives the statistics. One of
- the info lines it provides is Scale factor = 0x1000. What is scale factor
- for?
-
- Please reply back to khemani_p1@blrv1.verifone.com

- Thanx &Regards
