pprof: Generate a text report from a specific profiling file, on fibbo binary.
$ pprof -top ${--fibbo} ${--fibbo-profile-pb-gz}
try on your machine
The command pprof -top ${--fibbo} ${--fibbo-profile-pb-gz}
is using the pprof
tool to analyze a Go program's performance by providing a top-down view of the functions consuming the most CPU time.
Let's break down the command and its options:
pprof
: This is a command-line tool that comes with the Go programming language. It allows you to analyze profiling data generated by Go programs.-top
: This option tellspprof
to display a top-down view of the functions consuming the most CPU time.${--fibbo}
: The${--fibbo}
is a placeholder that represents the executable or the profiling data file to be analyzed bypprof
. It could be a path to the Go program being profiled.${--fibbo-profile-pb-gz}
: Similarly, the${--fibbo-profile-pb-gz}
is another placeholder that represents the profiling data file generated by the Go program. It could be a path to the profile file in Protocol Buffers (pb) format compressed with gzip.
Overall, the command is using pprof
to analyze the CPU usage of a Go program, displaying the functions responsible for the most CPU-intensive operations. The placeholders ${--fibbo}
and ${--fibbo-profile-pb-gz}
would need to be replaced with the actual paths to the Go program and its associated profiling data file, respectively.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
