- Err, not even by "/usr/man/man5/prof.5"? "prof(5)" in the SVR4
- documentation I have here mentions it, and also can be used to figure
- out why none of the code in your R4 source base refers to it. (Hint -
- it's included only by programs that are being built with profiling
- turned on, and that have had stuff stuck into them to do profiling with
- finer-than-procedure resolution.)
-
- If you know what kind of procedure prolog "cc -p" generates on an
- architecture, you may be able to use that information to figure out how
- to port "prot.h" to that architecture (assuming that it can be done).
