1. Introduction

The Extended Feature Interface is a standard callback interface designed to allow extension to the OProfile daemon's sample processing. Each feature defines a set of callback handlers which can be enabled or disabled through the OProfile daemon's command-line option. This interface can be used to implement support for architecture-specific features or features not commonly used by general OProfile users.
