NAME

       kcachegrind - a visualisation tool for valgrind profiling output

SYNOPSIS

       kcachegrind [ generic-options ] [ -r exec ] [ trace-file ]

DESCRIPTION

       KCachegrind  is  a  visualisation tool for the profiling data generated by calltree, a profiling skin for
       valgrind.  Applications can be profiled using calltree without being recompiled, and shared libraries and
       plugin architectures are supported.

       For  visualising  the  output  from  other  profiling tools, several converters are available.  On Debian
       systems these can be found in the kcachegrind-converters package.

       This application is part of the KDE Software Development Kit.

OPTIONS

       Below are the kcachegrind-specific options.  For a full summary of options, run kcachegrind --help.

       -r exec
              Run the program exec under cachegrind.

       trace-file
              Visualise data from the given trace.

       help:/kcachegrind/ directly into konqueror or you  can  run  `khelpcenter  help:/kcachegrind/'  from  the
       command-line.
