HEAP_PROFILE(1)

NAME

heap_profile - record heap profile on Android device

DESCRIPTION

tools/heap_profile allows to collect native memory profiles on Android. See Recording traces for more details about the data-source.

usage: heap_profile [-h] [-i INTERVAL] [-d DURATION] [--no-start] [-p PIDS]
                    [-n NAMES] [-c CONTINUOUS_DUMP] [--disable-selinux]
                    [--no-versions] [--no-running] [--no-startup]
                    [--shmem-size SHMEM_SIZE] [--block-client]
                    [--block-client-timeout BLOCK_CLIENT_TIMEOUT]
                    [--no-block-client] [--idle-allocations] [--dump-at-max]
                    [--disable-fork-teardown] [--simpleperf]

                    [--print-config] [-o DIRECTORY]

OPTIONS

-n, --name NAMES

Comma-separated list of process names to profile.

-p, --pid PIDS

Comma-separated list of PIDs to profile.

-i, --interval

Sampling interval. Default 4096 (4KiB)

-o, --output DIRECTORY

Output directory.

--all-heaps

Collect allocations from all heaps registered by target.

--block-client

When buffer is full, block the client to wait for buffer space. Use with caution as this can significantly slow down the client. This is the default

--block-client-timeout

If --block-client is given, do not block any allocation for longer than this timeout (us).

-c, --continuous-dump

Dump interval in ms. 0 to disable continuous dump.

-d, --duration

Duration of profile (ms). 0 to run until interrupted. Default: until interrupted by user.

--disable-fork-teardown

Do not tear down client in forks. This can be useful for programs that use vfork. Android 11+ only.

--disable-selinux

Disable SELinux enforcement for duration of profile.

--dump-at-max

Dump the maximum memory usage rather than at the time of the dump.

-h, --help

show this help message and exit

--heaps HEAPS

Comma-separated list of heaps to collect, e.g: malloc,art. Requires Android 12.

--idle-allocations

Keep track of how many bytes were unused since the last dump, per callstack

--no-android-tree-symbolization

Do not symbolize using currently lunched target in the Android tree.

--no-block-client

When buffer is full, stop the profile early.

--no-running

Do not target already running processes. Requires Android 11.

--no-start

Do not start heapprofd.

--no-startup

Do not target processes that start during the profile. Requires Android 11.

--no-versions

Do not get version information about APKs.

--print-config

Print config instead of running. For debugging.

--shmem-size

Size of buffer between client and heapprofd. Default 8MiB. Needs to be a power of two multiple of 4096, at least 8192.

--simpleperf

Get simpleperf profile of heapprofd. This is only for heapprofd development.

--traceconv-binary

Path to local trace to text. For debugging.
