viewprof is a text-based interactive GHC .prof viewer.

![screenshot](./img/screenshot.png)

It has three display modes:

* __Aggregate cost centers view__: This is the default view. It groups cost centers by their name and module name, like the middle section of .prof files.
* __Call sites view__: If you press enter on a cost center, viewprof displays call sites of the cost center you selected. This view tells how much the cost center spent for each call site.
* __Modules view__: If you press M, viewprof displays the module level breakdown. This view tells coarse overview of cost attribution.

## Installation

Note: Currently viewprof doesn't support Windows because the underlying library (vty) doesn't support it yet. See [#1](https://github.com/maoe/viewprof/issues/1).

```
stack install viewprof
```

## Acknowledgement

`viewprof` was originally meant to be a Haskell port of [mkotha/viewprof](https://github.com/mkotha/viewprof), which is a text-based .prof viewer written in Common Lisp.
