Resume the collection of high resolution profile data.
-b
Resume the collection of low resolution 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.
-M
Extract values associated with the name list from the specified core instead of the default /dev/kmem.
-N
Extract the name list from the specified system instead of the default /boot/kernel/kernel.
If neither -B nor -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.
The profile buffers should be reset when the resolution of the profile data is changed.
