fcount Measurement Report Description
Available only on HP-UX.
With the fcount measurement, produced by the fcount measurement configuration
file, HP Caliper measures and reports exact function call counts. This gives the total
number of times each function is called, either directly or indirectly.
Command-line options allow you to control how the report data are sorted.
