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").
