15 The ocamlprof command prints execution counts gathered during the exe‐
16 cution of a Objective Caml program instrumented with ocamlcp(1).
17
18 It produces a source listing of the program modules given as arguments
19 where execution counts have been inserted as comments. For instance,
20
21 ocamlprof foo.ml
22
23 prints the source code for the foo module, with comments indicating how
24 many times the functions in this module have been called. Naturally,
25 this information is accurate only if the source file has not been modi‐
26 fied since the profiling execution took place.

35 information. By default, ocamlprof(1) will annotate programs
36 with comments of the form (* n *) where n is the counter value
37 for a profiling point. With option -F s the annotation will be
38 (* sn *)
