NAME

6       pw-profiler - The PipeWire profiler
7

SYNOPSIS

9       pw-profiler [options]
10

DESCRIPTION

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