NAME
ocamlprof - The OCaml profiler
SYNOPSIS
ocamlprof [
options ]
filename ...DESCRIPTION
The
ocamlprof command prints execution counts gathered during the
execution of a OCaml program instrumented with
ocamlcp(1).
It produces a source listing of the program modules given as
arguments where execution counts have been inserted as comments. For
instance,
ocamlprof foo.ml prints the source code for the foo module, with comments indicating
how many times the functions in this module have been called.
Naturally, this information is accurate only if the source file has
not been modified since the profiling execution took place.

-F string Specifies an additional string to be output with profiling

for a profiling point. With option
-F s the annotation will be
(* sn *) -impl filename Compile the file
filename as an implementation file, even if

filename as an interface file, even if its
extension is not .mli.
