NAME

       xrprof - profile R programs

SYNOPSIS

       xrprof [-h] [-m] [-F FREQ] [-d DURATION] [-o FILE] -p PID

DESCRIPTION

       A  sampling  profiler  for  R(1) programs.  xrprof writes to standard output the Rprof.out
       format widely used by existing R-based tools.

OPTIONS

       Malformed arguments will fall back on the defaults, if possible.

       -h     Print usage and exit.

       -p PID Specify the pid of the target R program.

       -F FREQ
              Set the sampling frequency, in Hertz. The default is 1  Hz,  i.e.  one  sample  per
              second, and the maximum is 1000 Hz (though far fewer samples are usually required).

       -d DURATION
              Set  the  duration  for  xrprof to take samples before exiting (provided the target
              program runs that long). The default is to last up to one hour.

       -o FILE
              Write output to FILE instead of standard output.

       -m     Run in “mixed mode”, where samples are drawn from both the R-level and native C/C++
              stacks and collated together.

EXAMPLES

       Sample from an existing R program for 5 seconds at a useful frequency:

           $ xrprof -F 50 -d 5 -p `pidof R`

       Start  a  new  R program in the background and then start the profiler, writing samples to
       the file Rprof.out in the current directory:

           $ Rscript myprogram.R &
           $ xrprof -F 50 -p $! > Rprof.out

EXIT STATUS

       0      Successful program execution.

       1      A fatal error ocurred during sampling.
