**RUNPROF <program name>**

**RUNPROF \{switches\}**

RUNPROF generates a run profile log to be analyzed for an overview of the program call structure and performance. The first syntax runs <program name> and captures profile data to <pid>.rpl. When run without <program name>, RUNPROF returns its current status.
