-e function_name
-e function' option tells gprof to not print
information about the function function_name (and its
children...) in the call graph.  The function will still be listed
as a child of any functions that call it, but its index number will be
shown as `[not printed]'.  More than one `-e' option may be
given; only one function_name may be indicated with each `-e'
option. 
-E function_name
-E function option works like the -e option, but
time spent in the function (and children who were not called from
anywhere else), will not be used to compute the percentages-of-time for
the call graph.  More than one `-E' option may be given; only one
function_name may be indicated with each `-E' option.
-f function_name
-f function' option causes gprof to limit the
call graph to the function function_name and its children (and
their children...).  More than one `-f' option may be given;
only one function_name may be indicated with each `-f'
option.  
-F function_name
-F function' option works like the -f option, but
only time spent in the function and its children (and their
children...) will be used to determine total-time and
percentages-of-time for the call graph.  More than one `-F' option
may be given; only one function_name may be indicated with each
`-F' option.  The `-F' option overrides the `-E' option.
Note that only one function can be specified with each -e,
-E, -f or -F option.  To specify more than one
function, use multiple options.  For example, this command:
gprof -e boring -f foo -f bar myprogram > gprof.output
lists in the call graph all functions that were reached from either
foo or bar and were not reachable from boring.
