    calls and processing times

    Hi there,

    I am a bit of a newbie to C Programming and coding on a FreeBSD machine at the moment. I remember an application that could itemize the system calls and processing times of a C program. Does anybody know what the name of the application is called that can provide that functionality.

    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, do
    man gcc
    and search for profile - the basic option being -pg, but there are other ones which get more/different information.

    You then run the program under test, and process the results using the 'gprof' program.
