<div class="paragraph"><p>If an executable is compiled for <a href="Profiling">profiling</a>, then it
accepts a special command-line runtime system argument, <span class="monospaced">show-prof</span>,
that outputs information about the source functions that are profiled.
Normally, this information is used by <span class="monospaced">mlprof</span>. This page documents
the <span class="monospaced">show-prof</span> output format, and is intended for those working on
the profiler internals.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The <span class="monospaced">show-prof</span> output is ASCII, and consists of a sequence of lines.</p></div>
<div class="ulist"><ul>
<li>
<p>
The magic number of the executable.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
The number of source names in the executable.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
A line for each source name giving the name of the function, a tab,
the filename of the file containing the function, a colon, a space,
and the line number that the function starts on in that file.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
The number of (split) source functions.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
A line for each (split) source function, where each line consists of
a source-name index (into the array of source names) and a successors
index (into the array of split-source sequences, defined below).
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
The number of split-source sequences.
</p>

<li>
<p>
A line for each split-source sequence, where each line is a space
separated list of (split) source functions.

<div class="paragraph"><p>The latter two arrays, split sources and split-source sequences,
define a directed graph, which is the call-graph of the program.</p></div>
