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').
