gprof Multiple Shared Library Profiling
gprof, in HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 (B.11.20), introduces multiple shared
library profiling (MSLP). This allows users to profile multiple shared
libraries along with native IPF applications.
To use MSLP, the environment variables LD_PROFILE and
LD_PROFILEBUCKET_SIZE must be set appropriately before execution of
the program starts. Additionally, appropriate options must be set at
compile and link time.
gprof Performance
The accuracy of timing information may degrade slightly compared to
earlier version of gprof.

manual pages.
