     kgmon - generate a dump of the operating system's profile
     buffers

     _K_g_m_o_n is a tool used when profiling the operating system.
     When no arguments are supplied, _k_g_m_o_n indicates the state of
     operating system profiling as running, off, or not config-
     ured.  (see _c_o_n_f_i_g(8)) If the --pp flag is specified, _k_g_m_o_n
     extracts profile data from the operating system and produces
     a _g_m_o_n._o_u_t file suitable for later analysis by _g_p_r_o_f(1).

     The following options may be specified:

     --bb   Resume the collection of profile data.

     --hh   Stop the collection of profile data.

     --pp   Dump the contents of the profile buffers into a
	  _g_m_o_n._o_u_t file.

     --rr   Reset all the profile buffers. If the --pp flag is also
	  specified, the _g_m_o_n._o_u_t file is generated before the
	  buffers are reset.

     If neither --bb nor --hh is specified, the state of profiling
     collection remains unchanged.  For example, if the --pp flag
     is specified and profile data is being collected, profiling
     will be momentarily suspended, the operating system profile
     buffers will be dumped, and profiling will be immediately
     resumed.

     Users with only read permission on /dev/kmem cannot change
     the state of profiling collection. They can get a _g_m_o_n._o_u_t
     file with the warning that the data may be inconsistent if
     profiling is in progress.
