There is no way to turn +profiling off other than unloading this module. + +startitem() +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.
