    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").
