Several external programs are supplied with the mpatrol distribution in the form of commands that can be used to enhance the functionality of the mpatrol library. Each command comes with its own UNIX manual page (although they also support the --help and --version options), but a few of the commands are written as UNIX shell scripts and so will not work on non-UNIX platforms. Note that the mprof command is documented in the profiling chapter (see Profiling) and the mptrace command is documented in the tracing chapter (see Tracing).
