NAME

6       pw-profiler - The PipeWire profiler
7

SYNOPSIS

9       pw-profiler [options]
10
11

DESCRIPTION

13       Start profiling a PipeWire instance.
14
15       If the server has the profiler module loaded, this program will connect
16       to it and log the profiler data. Profiler data contains times and dura‐
17       tions when processing nodes and devices started and completed.
18
19       When  this  program  is stopped, a set of gnuplot files and a script to
20       generate SVG files from the .plot files  is  generated,  along  with  a
21       .html file to visualize the profiling results in a browser.
22
23       This function uses the same data used by pw-top.
