  "github_readme_excerpt": "# About _gprof2dot_\n\nThis is a Python script to convert the output from many profilers into a [dot graph](https://www.graphviz.org/doc/info/lang.html).\n\nIt can:\n\n  * read output from:\n    * [Linux perf](https://perf.wiki.kernel.org/)\n    * [Valgrind\u0027s callgrind tool](https://valgrind.org/docs/manual/cl-manual.html)\n    * [Sysprof](http://www.sysprof.com/)\n    * [Xperf](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/test/wpt/)\n    * [VTune](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/tools/oneapi/vtune-profiler.html)\n    * [Very Sleepy](https://www.codersnotes.com/sleepy/)\n    * [Python profilers](https://docs.python.org/3/library/profile.html#profile-stats)\n    * [Java\u0027s HPROF](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/samples/hprof.html)\n    * prof, [gprof](https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/gprof/)\n    * [DTrace](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DTrace)\n    * stackcollapse from [FlameGraph](https://github.com/brendangregg/FlameGraph)\n  * prune nodes and edges below a certain threshold;\n  * use an heuristic to propagate time inside mutually recursive functions;\n  * use color efficiently to draw attention to hot-spots;\n  * work on any platform where Python and Graphviz is available, i.e, virtually anywhere;\n  * compare two graphs with almost identical structures for the analysis of performance metrics such as time or function calls.\n\n**If you want an interactive viewer for the graphs generated by _gprof2dot_, check [xdot.py](https://github.com/jrfonseca/xdot.py).**\n\n\n# Status\n\n_gprof2dot_ currently fulfills my needs, and I have little or no time for its\nmaintenance.  So I\u0027m afraid that any requested features are unlikely to be\nimplemented, and I might be slow processing issue reports or pull requests.\n\n[![Build Status](https://github.com/jrfonseca/gprof2dot/actions/workflows/build.yml/badge.svg?branch=main)](https://github.com/jrfonseca/gprof2dot/actions/workflows/build.yml)\n[![codecov](https://codecov.io/gh/jrfonseca/gprof2dot/branch/main/graph/badge",
