💅 RUNSNAKEMEM(1) 💅

okay bestie, sit DOWN, because today we're talking about runsnakemem, a General Commands Manual classic. it's a GUI utility for Python memory profiling and honestly? it's giving main character energy for your memory leaks. 🐍✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

runsnakemem — GUI utility for Python memory profiling

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

runsnakemem [file]...

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so this manual page documents briefly the runsnakemem command. brief. concise. iconic. we're not doing a whole TED talk here. 🫶

here's the tea: runsnakemem creates a visual map of the profile data gathered by the Profile and cProfile Python modules. that's it. that's the whole vibe. it takes your sad little pile of numbers and turns it into something you can actually look at. 🦋

💖 OPTIONS 💖

runsnakemem has no options.

fr fr. zero. none. not a single flag. it just does the thing. no cap. 💅

🌈 USAGE 🌈

first, gather your profiling data by running your Python script like this:

python -m cProfile -o <outputfilename> <script-name> <options>

then run runsnakemem on that output file:

runsnakemem <outputfilename>

or, if you're feeling fancy, just open the output file straight from the GUI menu. same energy, different finger movement. 👑
