SYSPROF(1)

💖 SYSPROF(1) — General Commands Manual 💖

okay bestie, sit down, we're learning about a profiler and it's literally so good 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

sysprof, sysprof-cli — System-wide Linux Profiler 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

sysprof [--version] [ filename ]
sysprof-cli filename

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So sysprof is a sampling CPU profiler for Linux and it uses ftrace to profile the entire system, not just one little single application. the whole vibe. everything. 🌈

And here's the part that's giving main character energy: sysprof handles shared libraries, and applications do not need to be recompiled. not even a little bit. In fact, they don't even have to be restarted. 😭 iconic behavior honestly.

sysprof can also be used to analyze saved profile data. the filename parameter to sysprof can be used to load saved profile data. Alternatively, the Profiler->Open menu can be used to open a file. two paths, both slay 💅

sysprof-cli is a command-line tool to collect profiling data to filename. it's the no-frills, terminal-only bestie ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --version — Version. Display the version number. that's it, that's the whole option, and honestly? she ate 💅
