EMPROFILE(1)

πŸ’… emprofile β€” the emscripten profiler tool, bestie edition ✨

okay so real quick, the manual page calls this EMPROFILE(1) and files it under User Commands β€” but honestly? it's just your little emscripten profiling bestie and she's here to help. πŸŽ€

🌸 NAME 🌸

emprofile β€” emscripten profiler tool ✨


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

πŸ“– Usage: (the whole vibe, fr fr)

emprofile.py --clear (or -c)

Deletes all previously recorded profiling log files. πŸ—‘οΈβœ¨ Use this to abort/drop any previously collected profiling data so you can start a fresh new profiling run β€” like clearing your camera roll before a big photoshoot, no cap.

emprofile.py [--no-clear]

Draws a graph from all recorded profiling log files, and then deletes the recorded profiling files β€” unless --no-clear is also passed. πŸ‘‘ So yeah, she draws the graph and then ghosts the logs. Iconic behaviour honestly.

careful bestie β€” without --no-clear those profiling files are GONE after the graph gets drawn. if you want to keep them, say --no-clear. periodt. πŸ’€

πŸŽ€ Optional parameters:

  • --outfile=x.html (or -o=x.html) β€” specifies the name of the results file to generate. that's the graph output, your main character artifact, the whole reason we're here. πŸ’–

and that's literally it!! she's a small page but she does her one job so well. 🌈
