// Package pprof writes runtime profiling data in the format expected
// by the pprof visualization tool.
//
// Profiling a Go program
//
// The first step to profiling a Go program is to enable profiling.
// Support for profiling benchmarks built with the standard testing
// package is built into go test. For example, the following command
// runs benchmarks in the current directory and writes the CPU and
// memory profiles to cpu.prof and mem.prof:
//
//     go test -cpuprofile cpu.prof -memprofile mem.prof -bench .
//
// To add equivalent profiling support to a standalone program, add
// code like the following to your main function:
//
//    var cpuprofile = flag.String("cpuprofile", "", "write cpu profile to `file`")
//    var memprofile = flag.String("memprofile", "", "write memory profile to `file`")
//
//    func main() {
//        flag.Parse()
//        if *cpuprofile != "" {
//            f, err := os.Create(*cpuprofile)
//            if err != nil {
//                log.Fatal("could not create CPU profile: ", err)
//            }
//            defer f.Close()
//            if err := pprof.StartCPUProfile(f); err != nil {
//                log.Fatal("could not start CPU profile: ", err)
//            }
//            defer pprof.StopCPUProfile()
//        }
//
//        // ... rest of the program ...
//
//        if *memprofile != "" {
//            f, err := os.Create(*memprofile)
//            if err != nil {
//                log.Fatal("could not create memory profile: ", err)
//            }
//            defer f.Close()
//            runtime.GC() // get up-to-date statistics
//            if err := pprof.WriteHeapProfile(f); err != nil {
//                log.Fatal("could not write memory profile: ", err)
//            }
//        }
//    }
//
// There is also a standard HTTP interface to profiling data. Adding
// the following line will install handlers under the /debug/pprof/
// URL to download live profiles:
//
//    import _ "net/http/pprof"
//
// See the net/http/pprof package for more details.
//
// Profiles can then be visualized with the pprof tool:
//
//    go tool pprof cpu.prof
//
// There are many commands available from the pprof command line.
// Commonly used commands include "top", which prints a summary of the
// top program hot-spots, and "web", which opens an interactive graph
// of hot-spots and their call graphs. Use "help" for information on
// all pprof commands.
//
// For more information about pprof, see
// https://github.com/google/pprof/blob/master/doc/README.md.

// BUG(rsc): Profiles are only as good as the kernel support used to generate them.
// See https://golang.org/issue/13841 for details about known problems.

// A Profile is a collection of stack traces showing the call sequences
// that led to instances of a particular event, such as allocation.
// Packages can create and maintain their own profiles; the most common
// use is for tracking resources that must be explicitly closed, such as files
// or network connections.
//
// A Profile's methods can be called from multiple goroutines simultaneously.
//
// Each Profile has a unique name. A few profiles are predefined:
//
//	goroutine    - stack traces of all current goroutines
//	heap         - a sampling of memory allocations of live objects
//	allocs       - a sampling of all past memory allocations
//	threadcreate - stack traces that led to the creation of new OS threads
//	block        - stack traces that led to blocking on synchronization primitives
//	mutex        - stack traces of holders of contended mutexes
//
// These predefined profiles maintain themselves and panic on an explicit
// Add or Remove method call.
//
// The heap profile reports statistics as of the most recently completed
// garbage collection; it elides more recent allocation to avoid skewing
// the profile away from live data and toward garbage.
// If there has been no garbage collection at all, the heap profile reports
// all known allocations. This exception helps mainly in programs running
// without garbage collection enabled, usually for debugging purposes.
//
// The heap profile tracks both the allocation sites for all live objects in
// the application memory and for all objects allocated since the program start.
// Pprof's -inuse_space, -inuse_objects, -alloc_space, and -alloc_objects
// flags select which to display, defaulting to -inuse_space (live objects,
// scaled by size).
//
// The allocs profile is the same as the heap profile but changes the default
// pprof display to -alloc_space, the total number of bytes allocated since
// the program began (including garbage-collected bytes).
//
// The CPU profile is not available as a Profile. It has a special API,
// the StartCPUProfile and StopCPUProfile functions, because it streams
// output to a writer during profiling.
