pw-profiler(1)              General Commands Manual             pw-profiler(1)

NAME
       pw-profiler - The PipeWire profiler

SYNOPSIS
       pw-profiler [options]

DESCRIPTION
       Start profiling a PipeWire instance.

       If the server has the profiler module loaded, this program will connect
       to it and log the profiler data. Profiler data contains times and
       durations when processing nodes and devices started and completed.

       When this program is stopped, a set of gnuplot files and a script to
       generate SVG files from the .plot files is generated, along with a
       .html file to visualize the profiling results in a browser.

       This function uses the same data used by pw-top.

OPTIONS
       -r | --remote=NAME
           The name the remote instance to monitor. If left unspecified, a
           connection is made to the default PipeWire instance.

       -h | --help
           Show help.

       --version
           Show version information.

       -o | --output=FILE
           Profiler output name (default 'profiler.log').
