50.Sh DESCRIPTION
51The
52.Fn profil
53function enables or disables
53system call enables or disables
54program counter profiling of the current process.
55If profiling is enabled,
56then at every profiling clock tick,
57the kernel updates an appropriate count in the
58.Fa samples
59buffer.
60The frequency of the profiling clock is recorded
61in the header in the profiling output file.
