+.SH NAME
+py_profile.d - sample stack traces with Python translations using DTrace.
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B py_profile.d
+{ \-p PID | \-c cmd }	
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This samples stack traces for the process specified. This stack trace
+will cross the Python engine and system libraries, and insert 
+translations for Python stack frames where appropriate. This is best
+explained with an example stack frame output,
+
+libpython2.4.so.1.0`PyEval_EvalFrame+0x2fbf
+[ ./func_loop.py:5 (func_c) ]
+libpython2.4.so.1.0`fast_function+0xa8
+libpython2.4.so.1.0`call_function+0xda
+libpython2.4.so.1.0`PyEval_EvalFrame+0xbdf
+[ ./func_loop.py:11 (func_b) ]

+libpython2.4.so.1.0`PyEval_EvalFrame+0xbdf
+[ ./func_loop.py:16 (?) ]
+
+The lines in square brackets are the native Python frames, the rest
+are the Python engine.
+.SH OS
+Any
+.SH STABILITY
+Evolving - uses the DTrace Python provider, which may change 
+as additional features are introduced. Check Python/Readme
+to see what version these scripts are based on.

+.SH DOCUMENTATION
+See the DTraceToolkit for further documentation under the 
+Examples, Notes and Docs directories. The example files may be
+especially useful as they aim to demonstrate how to interpret
+the output.
+.SH EXIT
+py_profile.d will run until Ctrl-C is hit.
