# pprof2calltree(1)

convert APD profiling data to KCachegrind calltree format

## NAME

pprof2calltree - convert APD profiling data to KCachegrind calltree format

## SYNOPSIS

**pprof2calltree** **-f** *input*

## DESCRIPTION

**pprof2calltree** reads the pprof profiling data output by APD (http://pecl.php.net/apd/), and converts it into calltree format for use by KCachegrind.

This utility is part of the KDE Software Development Kit.

## OPTIONS

- **-f** *input*

  Specifies the APD pprof trace file to convert.  This generally has a name of the form *pprof.XXXXX.Y*.  The calltree output for KCachegrind will then be written to the file *cachegrind.out.XXXXX.Y*.

## EXAMPLE

Suppose you profile a script with APD and obtain the pprof trace file *pprof.12345.1*.  You can then work with this data in KCachegrind as follows.

pprof2calltree -f pprof.12345.1\
 kcachegrind cachegrind.out.12345.1
