TFPROF(1)

💖 TFPROF(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual section, we're talking about tfprof and honestly? she's iconic.

✨ NAME ✨

tfprof — profile a Taskflow program 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

tfprof [options]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so tfprof is literally the program that visualises and profiles programs you compiled with Taskflow. no cap.

the way you do it is: compile your program with cmake using the option -D TF_BUILD_PROFILER=ON, then run it with an environment variable that says where the profile data output file should go. for example, from inside the build directory:

$ cmake ../ -D TF_BUILD_PROFILER=ON
$ make
$ TF_ENABLE_PROFILER=my_taskflow.tfp ./my_taskflow

then you run the profiler to visualise the output, like:

$ tfprof --input my_taskflow.tfp

and the results can be seen at http://localhost:8080/ ✨ main character URL honestly.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -h, --help — show summary of options. the little "hey what does this do" moment 💅
• -i, --input — the profiling data file. this option is required, so don't be skipping it fr fr.
• -m, --mount — the location of the static Taskflow profiler server files. in the Debian version of tfprof, this is optional; it defaults to /usr/share/taskflow. she has a default, she's low maintenance 🎀
• -p, --port — the port the server should listen on; this defaults to 8080. 🦋

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

the Taskflow system is documented fully in the documentation, available in the taskflow-doc package on Debian systems, or online at https://taskflow.github.io/taskflow/index.html 🌈

okay that's the whole page, go profile something and slay 💅
