+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This routine provides a means to find out in what areas your program
+spends most of its time.
+The argument
+.I buf
+points to
+.I bufsiz
+bytes of core.
+Every virtual 10 milliseconds, the user's program counter (PC)
+is examined:
+.I offset
+is subtracted and the result is multiplied by
+.I scale
+and divided by 65536.
+If the resulting value is less than
+.IR bufsiz ,
+then the corresponding entry in
+.I buf
+is incremented.
+If
+.I buf
+is NULL, profiling is disabled.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+Zero is always returned.
+.SH ATTRIBUTES

+.SH HISTORY
+Similar to a call in SVr4.
+.SH BUGS
+.BR profil ()
+cannot be used on a program that also uses

+interval timers (see

+.PP
+True kernel profiling provides more accurate results.
+.\" Libc 4.4 contained a kernel patch providing a system call profil.
