13 is at line 293 in the file.

b. [OPTIONAL] Discriminator. This is used if the sampled program
was compiled with DWARF discriminator support
(http://wiki.dwarfstd.org/index.php?title=Path_Discriminators).
- DWARF discriminators allow the compiler to distinguish between
- multiple execution paths on the same source line location.
+ DWARF discriminators are unsigned integer values that allow the
+ compiler to distinguish between multiple execution paths on the
+ same source line location.
For example, consider the line of code ``if (cond) foo(); else bar();``.
If the predicate ``cond`` is true 80% of the time, then the edge
