# profold
|
|
|
|
This project is a terminal-based viewer for ghc `.prof` files. These files are
|
|
the result of profiling with `+RTS -p`, and can easily be thousands of lines
|
|
long. This makes it cumbersome to browse through them and find the interesting
|
|
bits.
|
|
|
|
Since `.prof` files have a tree-like structure, an obvious improvement for
|
|
viewing them is folding and unfolding parts of the tree, which is what profold
|
|
allows you to do.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Open a file with profold:
|
|
```
|
|
$ profold file_to_open.prof
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Arrow keys or vim-like keybindings to navigate. Tab to fold or unfold the
|
|
current item.
