ocamlprof - The OCaml profiler

ocamlprof [ options ] filename ...

The ocamlprof command prints execution counts gathered during the execution of a OCaml program instrumented with ocamlcp(1).

It produces a source listing of the program modules given as arguments where execution counts have been inserted as comments. For instance,

ocamlprof foo.ml
