7.3. Command line options

In addition to specifying the profile format, the user can also specify the following options

  • --fixnames - Use the fixnames option for gprof. When C and Fortran code are mixed, the C routines have to be mapped to either .function or function_. Strip the leading period or trailing underscore, if it is there.

  • --pack <file> - Rather than load the data and launch the GUI, pack the data into the specified file.

  • --dump - Rather than load the data and launch the GUI, dump the data to TAU Profiles. This can be used to convert supported formats to TAU Profiles.

  • --oss - Outputs profile data in OSS Style. Example:
