samply is a sampling CPU profiler.
Run a command, record a CPU profile of its execution, and open the profiler UI.
Recording is currently supported on Linux and macOS.
On other platforms, samply can only load existing profiles.

# On Linux, you can also profile existing processes by pid:

# Alternative usage: Save profile to file for later viewing, and then load it.
samply record --save-only -o prof.json -- ./yourcommand yourargs
samply load prof.json # Opens in the browser and supplies symbols
# Import perf.data files from Linux perf:
