DESCRIPTION

chicken-profile reads in profiling information generated by CHICKEN Scheme programs compiled with the -profile option, and generates a table listing function names and their execution times.

-help: Show usage and exit.
-version: Show version and exit.
-decimals DDD: Set number of decimals for seconds, average and percent columns (three digits, default: 333).
-no-unused: Remove procedures that are never called.
-sort-by-avg: Sort output by average procedure execution time.
-sort-by-calls: Sort output by call frequency.
-sort-by-name: Sort output alpabetically by procedure name.
-sort-by-time: Sort output by procedure execution time.
-top N: Display only the top N entries.

EXIT STATUS
