// Go execution tracer. // Package trace contains facilities for programs to generate trace
// The tracer captures a wide range of execution events like goroutine // for Go execution tracer.
// creation/blocking/unblocking, syscall enter/exit/block, GC-related events, //
// changes of heap size, processor start/stop, etc and writes them to an io.Writer // The execution trace captures a wide range of execution events such as
// in a compact form. A precise nanosecond-precision timestamp and a stack // goroutine creation/blocking/unblocking, syscall enter/exit/block,
// trace is captured for most events. A trace can be analyzed later with // GC-related events, changes of heap size, processor stop/stop, etc.
// 'go tool trace' command. // A precise nanosecond-precision timestamp and a stack trace is
// captured for most events. The generated trace can be interpreted

// Tracing a Go program
//
// Support for tracing tests and benchmarks built with the standard
// testing package is built into `go test`. For example, the following
// command runs the test in the current directory and writes the trace
// file (trace.out).
//
// go test -trace=test.out
//
// This runtime/trace package provides APIs to add equivalent tracing
// support to a standalone program. See the Example that demonstrates
// how to use this API to enable tracing.
//
// There is also a standard HTTP interface to profiling data. Adding the
// following line will install handlers under the /debug/pprof/trace URL
// to download live profiles:
//
// import _ "net/http/pprof"
//
// See the net/http/pprof package for more details.
