What is bprof?
--------------
bprof is a utility that provides execution profiling per source code
line.  This means that it detects how much time your program spends in
each line of your source code.  This allows you to know precisely on
what part of the program to spend your efforts at speeding it up.

How to install bprof
--------------------
Type: "make all".  This should create a program bprof and a library
libbmon.a.  If everything is ok, type "make install" to install the
program, the library and the manpage.  If you like to install it under
/usr/local, do "make install PREFIX=/usr/local".

How to use bprof
----------------
Please read the manpage.  A groff-ed version should be present in the
distribution as bprof.cat.

Where to send feedback
----------------------
Please send comments, suggestions, bugs and such to bas@phys.uva.nl.

Whose perverse mind created this?
---------------------------------
It was the mind of Bas de Bakker.

Known problems
--------------
The signal stack has changed in the past.  If you have a very old
Linux kernel (older than 0.99p13), you may be out of luck.

bprof does not work on elf or coff executables.  If you don't know
what I'm talking about, you won't have them, so don't worry.
