vipsprofile - Man Page

vipsprofile

vipsprofile(1) analyzes the file written by the --vips-profile option, calculates some statistics, and draws a graph of evaluation.

Run any vips program with the --vips-profile option to generate a file called "vips-profile.txt". This contains timing information about CPU use, memory use and thread synchronisation.

Run vipsprofile(1) to load this file, calculate some  statistics, and draw a graph of evaluation saved to vips-profile.svg. This analysis can help track down performance problems.

For example:

 $ vips sharpen shark.jpg x.jpg --vips-profile
 recording profile in vips-profile.txt
 $ vipsprofile
 reading from vips-profile.txt
