    KGMON(8)	    UNIX Programmer's Manual		 KGMON(8)

    NAME
         kgmon - generate a dump of the operating system's profile
         buffers

    SYNOPSIS
         /usr/sbin/kgmon [ -b ] [ -h ] [ -r ] [ -p ] [ system ] [
         memory ]

    DESCRIPTION
         Kgmon is a tool used when profiling the operating system.
         When no arguments are supplied, kgmon indicates the state of
         operating system profiling as running, off, or not config-
         ured.  (see config(8)) If the -p flag is specified, kgmon
         extracts profile data from the operating system and produces
         a gmon.out file suitable for later analysis by gprof(1).

         The following options may be specified:

         -b   Resume the collection of profile data.

         -h   Stop the collection of profile data.

         -p   Dump the contents of the profile buffers into a
    	  gmon.out file.

         -r   Reset all the profile buffers. If the -p flag is also
    	  specified, the gmon.out file is generated before the
    	  buffers are reset.

         If neither -b nor -h is specified, the state of profiling
         collection remains unchanged.  For example, if the -p flag
         is specified and profile data is being collected, profiling
         will be momentarily suspended, the operating system profile
         buffers will be dumped, and profiling will be immediately
         resumed.

    FILES
         /vmunix - the default system
         /dev/kmem - the default memory

    SEE ALSO
         gprof(1), config(8)

    DIAGNOSTICS
         Users with only read permission on /dev/kmem cannot change
         the state of profiling collection. They can get a gmon.out
         file with the warning that the data may be inconsistent if
         profiling is in progress.
