@ManPageStart{DESCRIPTION}
@c man begin DESCRIPTION

Display the source code listing, or source code interleaved with disassembly
code, as extracted from the target file (an executable, shared object, object
file, or a Java .class file).

For example, this command displays the source code and disassembly listing for
a function called @samp{mxv_core} that is part of object file @samp{mxv.o}:

@smallexample
$ gprofng display src -disasm mxv_core mxv.o
@end smallexample

To list the source code and disassembly for all the functions in this file,
use the following command:

@smallexample
$ gprofng display src -disasm all -1 mxv.o
@end smallexample

The @var{target-file} is the name of an executable, a shared object, an object
file (.o), or a Java .class file.

If no options are given, the source code listing of the @var{target-file}
is shown.  This is equivalent to @samp{-source all -1}.  If this information
is not available, a message to this extent is printed.

@ManPageStart{OPTIONS}
@c man begin OPTIONS

@table @gcctabopt

@item --version
@ifclear man
@IndexSubentry{Options, @code{--version}}
@end ifclear

Print the version number and exit.

@item --help
@ifclear man
@IndexSubentry{Options, @code{--help}}
@end ifclear

Print usage information and exit.

@item -functions
@ifclear man
@IndexSubentry{Options,  @code{-functions}}
@IndexSubentry{Commands, @code{functions}}
@end ifclear
List all the functions from the given object.

@item -source @var{item} @var{tag}
@ifclear man
@IndexSubentry{Options, @code{-source}}
@IndexSubentry{Commands, @code{source}}
@end ifclear
Show the source code for @var{item} in @var{target-file}.  The @var{tag}
is used to differentiate in case there are multiple occurences with the same
name.
See the @samp{NOTES} section for the definition of @var{item} and @var{tag}.

@item -disasm @var{item} @var{tag}
@ifclear man
@IndexSubentry{Options,  @code{-disasm}}
@IndexSubentry{Commands, @code{disasm}}
@end ifclear
Include the disassembly in the source listing.  The default listing does not
include the disassembly.  If the source code is not available, show a listing
of the disassembly only.
See the @samp{NOTES} section for the definition of @var{item} and @var{tag}.

@item -outfile @var{filename}
@ifclear man
@IndexSubentry{Options,  @code{-outfile}}
@IndexSubentry{Commands, @code{outfile}}
@end ifclear
Write results to file @var{filename}.  A dash (@minus{}) writes to stdout.
This is also the default.  Note that this option only affects those options
included to the right of the option.

@ManPageStart{NOTES}
@c man begin NOTES

Use @var{item} to specify the name of a function, or of a source or object
file that was used to build the executable, or shared object.

The @var{tag} is an index used to determine which item is being referred
to when multiple functions have the same name.  It is required, but will
be ignored if not necessary to resolve the function.

The @var{item} may also be specified in the form @samp{function`file`}, in
which case the source or disassembly of the named function in the source
context of the named file will be used.

The special @var{item} and @var{tag} combination @samp{all -1}, is used to
indicate generating the source, or disassembly, for all functions in the
@var{target-file}.
