'calls'

Number of calls to the function (like field 1 covered in print_stats)

'cumulative'

Cumulative time spent in the function and all functions it called (like field 4 i covered in print_stats)

'nfl'

Name of the function, its module, line number of the function in its file (like field 6 covered in print_stats)

'time'

Total time spent in the function itself, exclusive of functions it called (like field 2 covered in print_stats)
