<h1>Profiling Interface</h1>
<h3>Profiler Operation</h3>
<p>The following methods can be used by dynamic profiler
methods to monitor different aspects of the program.
<p>A custom profiler will have one public method defined in
the shared library which is the entry point that Mono calls at
startup, it has the following signature:
<pre>
void mono_profiler_startup (const char *desc)
</pre>
<p>Where "desc" is the set of arguments that were passed from
the command line. This routine will call
<tt>mono_profiler_install</tt> to activate the profiler and
will install one or more filters (one of the various
<tt>mono_profiler_install_</tt> functions).
<p>In addition, a profiler developer will typically call
<tt>mono_profiler_set_events</tt> to register which kinds of
traces should be enabled, these can be an OR-ed combination of
the following:
<pre>
MONO_PROFILE_NONE
MONO_PROFILE_APPDOMAIN_EVENTS
MONO_PROFILE_ASSEMBLY_EVENTS
MONO_PROFILE_MODULE_EVENTS
MONO_PROFILE_CLASS_EVENTS
MONO_PROFILE_JIT_COMPILATION
MONO_PROFILE_INLINING
MONO_PROFILE_EXCEPTIONS
MONO_PROFILE_ALLOCATIONS
MONO_PROFILE_GC
MONO_PROFILE_THREADS
MONO_PROFILE_REMOTING
MONO_PROFILE_TRANSITIONS
MONO_PROFILE_ENTER_LEAVE
MONO_PROFILE_COVERAGE
MONO_PROFILE_INS_COVERAGE
MONO_PROFILE_STATISTICAL
</pre>
<p>Developers can change the set of monitored events at
runtime by calling <tt>mono_profiler_set_events</tt>.
