.SH NAME
mprof\-report \- report generator for Mono's log profiler
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBmprof\-report\fR [\fIoption\fR]... \fIfile.mlpd\fR
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBmprof\-report\fR is the report generator for Mono's \fBlog\fR
profiler. It reads the MLPD log files produced by the log profiler
and generates a report based on the options passed to it. The
output is based on individual reports which can be turned on or off.
By default, all reports are generated in summary form (i.e.,
non-verbose output).
.PP
\fBmprof\-report\fR can read both normal and \fBgzip\fR(1)-compressed
log files transparently.
.PP
For information about how to use the log profiler with a program,
see the \fBmono\-profilers\fR(1) page, under the \fBLOG PROFILER\fR
section.
.SH OPTIONS
The following options are available:
.TP
\fB\-\-help\fR
Displays usage instructions.
.TP
\fB\-\-out\fR=\fIfile\fR
Write the report output to \fIfile\fR instead of standard output.
.TP
\fB\-\-traces\fR
Show backtraces in reports when available.
.TP
\fB\-\-maxframes\fR=\fInum\fR
Limit backtraces to \fInum\fR frames.
.TP
\fB\-\-reports\fR=\fIreports\fR
Generate only the specified reports. \fIreports\fR is a
comma-separated list of reports. See the \fBREPORTS\fR section.
.TP
\fB\-\-method\-sort\fR=\fImode\fR
Sort methods according to \fImode\fR, which can be one of:
.RS
.TP
\fBtotal\fR (default)
Sort by the total amount of time spent in a method and its callees.
.TP
\fBself\fR
Sort by the amount of time spent only within a method itself.
.TP
\fBcalls\fR
Sort by the total amount of calls made to a method.
.RE
.TP
\fB\-\-alloc\-sort\fR=\fImode\fR
Sort allocations according to \fImode\fR, which can be one of:
.RS
.TP
\fBbytes\fR (default)
Sort by the amount of heap bytes occupied by all allocated objects of
a type.
.TP
\fBcount\fR
Sort by the total amount of allocations of a type.
.RE
.TP
\fB\-\-counters\-sort\fR=\fImode\fR
Sort counters according to \fImode\fR. This alters how the
\fBcounters\fR report is presented. It can be one of:
.RS
.TP
\fBtime\fR (default)
Present a list of samples, each containing a list of counter
name-value pairs.
.TP
\fBcategory\fR
Present a list of counter names, each containing a list of sampled
values.
.RE
.IP
This option has no effect unless \fB\-\-verbose\fR is passed.
.TP
\fB\-\-track\fR=\fIobjects\fR
Track what happens to the specified objects. \fIobjects\fR is a
comma-separated list of object addresses.
.TP
\fB\-\-find\fR=\fIspec\fR
Find and track what happens to objects matching \fIspec\fR, which can
have one of these forms:
.RS
.TP
\fBS\fR:\fIminimum_size\fR
Look for objects that are at least \fIminimum_size\fR bytes in size.
.TP
\fBT\fR:\fIname_fragment\fR
Look for objects whose type name contain \fIname_fragment\fR.
.RE
.IP
Both an \fBS\fR and \fBT\fR spec can be given by passing the option
twice.
.TP
\fB\-\-thread\fR=\fItid\fR
Consider only events from the thread with ID \fItid\fR.
.TP
\fB\-\-time\fR=\fIspan\fR
Consider only events occurring in the specified time span. \fIspan\fR
must be of the form \fIfrom\fR\-\fIto\fR where \fIfrom\fR and
\fIto\fR are seconds since the program started.
.TP
\fB\-\-verbose\fR
Print verbose output.
.TP
\fB\-\-debug\fR
Print extremely detailed debug output. Most users should not use this
option.
