Synopsis

                           s


.print_callees(*restrictions)

Outputs the list of functions in s’s profile data, sorted according to the latest call to s .sort_stats, and subject to the given restrictions, if any. You can call each printing method with zero or more restrictions, which are applied one after the other, in order, to reduce the number of output lines. A restriction that is an integer n limits the output to the first n lines. A restriction that is a floating-point value f between 0.0 and 1.0 limits the output to a fraction f of the lines. A restriction that is a string is compiled as a regular expression (as covered in Chapter 9); only lines satisfying a search method call on the regular expressions are output. Restrictions are cumulative. For example, s .print_calls(10,0.5) outputs the first 5 lines (half of 10). Output restrictions apply only after the summary and header lines: summary and header are output unconditionally.

Each function f that is output is accompanied by the list of f’s callers (the functions that called f) or f’s callees (the functions that f called) according to the name of the method.
