Description

The gmondump utility displays the contents of one or more profile data files. Such files usually have names starting with "gmon.out" and are created by a profiling program such as profiler or ssp. Compiling your gcc/g++ programs with option -pg also works.

By default, summary information is shown. You can use the option -v to get more detailed displays.

Note that gmondump just displays the raw data; one would usually use gprof to display the data in a useful form incorporating symbolic info such as function names and source line numbers.

Here is an example of gmondump operation:

$ gmondump gmon.out.21900.zstd.exe
file gmon.out.21900.zstd.exe, gmon version 0x51879, sample rate 100
  address range 0x100401000..0x1004cc668
  numbuckets 208282, hitbuckets 1199, hitcount 12124, numrawarcs 0
