💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, gather round — mtx-profile is the ConTeXt MkIV LuaTeX Profiler. that's it, that's the whole vibe check. it profiles stuff. for ConTeXt MkIV. running on LuaTeX. slay. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

the way you summon it is literally this and nothing else:

mtxrun --script profile [ OPTIONS ...  ] [ FILENAMES ]

OPTIONS ... and FILENAMES are both optional, so yes you can absolutely just run it bare and see what happens (iykyk). 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

ConTeXt MkIV LuaTeX Profiler. that's the description. it's giving minimal, it's giving mysterious, it's giving "the NAME section already told you, girl." but fr fr, that's what the page says and we are not adding lore that isn't there. 🙈

✨ OPTIONS ✨

only two of them, and honestly? iconic. lowkey a curated selection. 🎀

  • --analyze — analyze lua calls 🧚 like, it goes in and looks at what your Lua is up to. nosy in the best way.
  • --trace — analyze tex calls ⭐ same energy but pointed at your TeX calls instead. different flavor, same obsession.
ngl bestie, that's genuinely the entire option list. two flags. no hidden extras. don't go looking for a --help in this section because it is not here. 💀

👑 AUTHOR 👑

want more tea about ConTeXt and all the little tools that ship alongside it? the manual says the info lives here, so here it is, character for character, no cap:

go forth and lurk, bestie. the wiki is right there. 🫶

aaaand that's the whole page!! version 1.00, dated 01-01-2023 — shoutout to that timestamp for being so tidy. mwah. 💜 ✨ 🍓
