<para>Although the heap profiling functionality was originally designed to
be compatible with the
<command>pprof</command> command that is developed as part of the <ulink
url="http://code.google.com/p/gperftools/">gperftools
package</ulink>, the addition of per thread heap profiling functionality
required a different heap profile format. The <command>jeprof</command>
command is derived from <command>pprof</command>, with enhancements to
support the heap profile format described here.</para>
