To run an instrumented binary with profiling from the command prompt:
         
         
         
            - To start the Application Profiler immediately after the application starts, set
                  environment variable QPROF_AUTO_START:
               
QPROF_AUTO_START=1 
                
            - To redirect the gmon output to a file, set the environment variable:
                  QPROF_FILE
               
QPROF_FILE=/tmp/myapp.ptrace 
                
            - To change to kernel trace logging, set the environment variable
                  QPROF_KERNEL_TRACE=1: 
 
            - To include the shared library path used for profiling, set the environment variable
                  LD_LIBRARY_PATH:
               
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.../profiling_lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
                
            - To run the application, set the following: 
               
QPROF_AUTO_START=1 QPROF_FILE=/tmp/myapp.ptrace \
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.../profiling_lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./myapp
