--accumulated / -a Accumulate sample and percentage counts in the symbol list. --debug-info / -g Show source file and line for each symbol. --demangle / -D none|smart|normal none: no demangling. normal: use default demangler (default) smart: use pattern-matching to make C++ symbol demangling more read- able. --callgraph / -c Show call graph information if available. --details / -d Show per-instruction details for all selected symbols. --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-symbols / -e [symbols] Exclude all the symbols in the given comma-separated list. --global-percent / -% Make all percentages relative to the whole profile. --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-symbols / -i [symbols] Only include symbols in the given comma-separated list. --long-filenames / -f Output full paths instead of basenames. --merge / -m [lib,cpu,tid,tgid,unitmask,all] Merge any profiles separated in a --separate session. --no-header Don't output a header detailing profiling parameters. --output-file / -o [file] Output to the given file instead of stdout. --reverse-sort / -r Reverse the sort from the default. --session-dir=dir_path Use sample database out of directory dir_path instead of the default location (/var/lib/oprofile). --show-address / -w Show each symbol's VMA address. --sort / -s [vma,sample,symbol,debug,image] Sort the list of symbols by, respectively, symbol address, number of samples, symbol name, debug filename and line number, binary image filename. --symbols / -l List per-symbol information instead of a binary image summary. --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. --xml / -X Generate XML output.
