+ This table describes the call tree of the program, and was sorted by
+ the total amount of time spent in each function and its children.
+
+ Each entry in this table consists of several lines. The line with the
+ index number at the left hand margin lists the current function.
+ The lines above it list the functions that called this function,
+ and the lines below it list the functions this one called.
+ This line lists:
+ index A unique number given to each element of the table.
+ Index numbers are sorted numerically.
+ The index number is printed next to every function name so
+ it is easier to look up where the function in the table.
+
+ % time This is the percentage of the `total' time that was spent
+ in this function and its children. Note that due to
+ different viewpoints, functions excluded by options, etc,
+ these numbers will NOT add up to 100%.
+
+ self This is the total amount of time spent in this function.
+
+ children This is the total amount of time propagated into this
+ function by its children.
+
+ called This is the number of times the function was called.
+ If the function called itself recursively, the number
+ only includes non-recursive calls, and is followed by
+ a `+' and the number of recursive calls.
+
+ name The name of the current function. The index number is
+ printed after it. If the function is a member of a
+ cycle, the cycle number is printed between the
+ function's name and the index number.
+
+
+ For the function's parents, the fields have the following meanings:
+
+ self This is the amount of time that was propagated directly
+ from the function into this parent.
+
+ children This is the amount of time that was propagated from
+ the function's children into this parent.
+
+ called This is the number of times this parent called the
+ function `/' the total number of times the function
+ was called. Recursive calls to the function are not
+ included in the number after the `/'.
+
+ name This is the name of the parent. The parent's index
+ number is printed after it. If the parent is a
+ member of a cycle, the cycle number is printed between
+ the name and the index number.
+
+ If the parents of the function cannot be determined, the word
+ `<spontaneous>' is printed in the `name' field, and all the other
+ fields are blank.
+
+ For the function's children, the fields have the following meanings:
+
+ self This is the amount of time that was propagated directly
+ from the child into the function.
+
+ children This is the amount of time that was propagated from the
+ child's children to the function.
+
+ called This is the number of times the function called
+ this child `/' the total number of times the child
+ was called. Recursive calls by the child are not
+ listed in the number after the `/'.
+
+ name This is the name of the child. The child's index
+ number is printed after it. If the child is a
+ member of a cycle, the cycle number is printed
+ between the name and the index number.
+
+ If there are any cycles (circles) in the call graph, there is an
+ entry for the cycle-as-a-whole. This entry shows who called the
+ cycle (as parents) and the members of the cycle (as children.)
+ The `+' recursive calls entry shows the number of function calls that
+ were internal to the cycle, and the calls entry for each member shows,
+ for that member, how many times it was called from other members of
+ the cycle.
