+.SH NAME
+pprof2calltree \- convert APD profiling data to KCachegrind calltree format
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B pprof2calltree
+\fB\-f\fP \fIinput\fP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBpprof2calltree\fP reads the pprof profiling data output by
+APD (http://pecl.php.net/apd/), and converts it into calltree format
+for use by KCachegrind.
+.PP
+This utility is part of the TDE Software Development Kit.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+\fB\-f\fP \fIinput\fP
+Specifies the APD pprof trace file to convert. This generally has a
+name of the form \fIpprof.XXXXX.Y\fP. The calltree output for
+KCachegrind will then be written to the file \fIcachegrind.out.XXXXX.Y\fP.
+.SH EXAMPLE
+Suppose you profile a script with APD and obtain the pprof trace file
+\fIpprof.12345.1\fP. You can then work with this data in KCachegrind as
+follows.
