.SH NAME
tdecachegrind \- a visualisation tool for valgrind profiling output
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B tdecachegrind
.RI "[ " generic-options " ]"
[ \fB\-r\fP \fIexec\fP ] [ \fItrace-file\fP ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBKCachegrind\fP is a visualisation tool for the profiling data generated
by \fBcalltree\fP, a profiling skin for \fBvalgrind\fP.  Applications can be
profiled using calltree without being recompiled, and shared libraries
and plugin architectures are supported.
.PP
For visualising the output from other profiling tools, several converters
are available.  On Debian systems these can be found in the
\fItdecachegrind-converters\fP package.
.PP
This application is part of the KDE Software Development Kit.
.SH OPTIONS
Below are the tdecachegrind-specific options.
For a full summary of options, run \fItdecachegrind \-\-help\fP.
.TP
\fB\-r\fP \fIexec\fP
Run the program \fIexec\fP under cachegrind.
.TP
\fItrace-file\fP
