Table 7 Information in HP Caliper Reports Specific to Particular Types of Reports
These reports are unique.
The cgprof report is described in “cgprof Report Description
” (p. 175).
The cstack report is described in Chapter 11 (page 132).
The scgprof report is described in “Producing a Sampled
Call Graph Profile Analysis” (p. 120) and “scgprof Measurement

cgprof (HP-UX only)

These reports produce tables with the requested performance
information. The reports show aggregated values for all threads
of a multithreaded application. The reports show the results
by load module.
ecount
fcount (HP-UX only)
fcover (HP-UX only)
These reports follow the same pattern:
• Thread Summary
• Load Module Summary for all threads
• Function Summary for all threads
• Function Details for all threads
• These sections, repeated for each thread:
◦ Load Module Summary for one thread
◦ Function Summary for one thread
◦ Function Details for one thread with a source listing and,
if requested, disassembly listing

Metrics You Can Use for Report Sorting and Cutoffs
HP Caliper allows you to control how results are sorted and to control the amount of data reports
contain.
For most reports, you can control which metric to use for sorting and cutoffs. Specify the metric
with the --sort-by metric option. Specify the amount of data with the --detail-cutoff
and the --summary-cutoff options. These two options have parameters that let you specify
how much of the Function Details section and how much of the Function Summary section should
be displayed in the report.
Table 8 (page 106) shows the metrics you can use for the --sort-by metric option. The default
value for sorting/cutoffs (if you don't use the --sort-by metric option) is also shown.
