NAME
opannotate - produce source or assembly annotated with profile data
 
SYNOPSIS
opannotate
[
options
]
[profile specification]
 
DESCRIPTION
opannotate
outputs annotated source and/or assembly from profile data of an OProfile
session. See oprofile(1) for how to write profile specifications.
 
OPTIONS
- --assembly / -a
- 
Output annotated assembly. If this is combined with --source, then mixed
source / assembly annotations are output.
 
- --demangle / -D none|smart|normal
- 
none: no demangling. normal: use default demangler (default) smart: use
pattern-matching to make C++ symbol demangling more readable.
 
- --exclude-dependent / -x
- 
Do not include application-specific images for libraries, kernel modules
and the kernel. This option only makes sense if the profile session
used --separate.
 
- --exclude-file [files]
- 
Exclude all files in the given comma-separated list of glob patterns.
 
- --exclude-symbols / -e [symbols]
- 
Exclude all the symbols in the given comma-separated list.
 
- --help / -? / --usage
- 
Show help message.
 
- --image-path / -p [paths]
- 
Comma-separated list of additional paths to search for binaries.
This is needed to find modules in kernels 2.6 and upwards.
 
- --root / -R [path]
- 
A path to a filesystem to search for additional binaries.
 
- --include-file [files]
- 
Only include files in the given comma-separated list of glob patterns.
 
- --include-symbols / -i [symbols]
- 
Only include symbols in the given comma-separated list.
 
- --objdump-params [params]
- 
Pass the given parameters as extra values when calling objdump.
 
- --output-dir / -o [dir]
- 
Output directory. This makes opannotate output one annotated file for each
source file. This option can't be used in conjunction with --assembly.
 
- --search-dirs / -d [paths]
- 
Comma-separated list of paths to search for source files. You may need to use
this option when the debug information for an image contains relative paths.
 
- --base-dirs / -b [paths]
- 
Comma-separated list of paths to strip from debug source files, prior to
looking for them in --search-dirs.
 
- --session-dir=dir_path
- 
Use sample database out of directory dir_path instead of the default location (/var/lib/oprofile).
 
- --source / -s
- 
Output annotated source. This requires debugging information to be available
for the binaries.
 
- --threshold / -t [percentage]
- 
Only output data for symbols that have more than the given percentage
of total samples.
 
- --verbose / -V [options]
- 
Give verbose debugging output.
 
- --version / -v
- 
Show version.
 
ENVIRONMENT
No special environment variables are recognised by opannotate.
 
FILES
- /var/lib/oprofile/samples/
- 
The location of the generated sample files.
