Tools Reference Manual
Version 2.6.4
The Tools application contains a number of stand-alone
tools, which are useful when developing Erlang programs.
-
cover
-
A coverage analysis tool for Erlang.
-
cprof
-
A profiling tool that shows how many
times each function is called. Uses a kind of local call trace
breakpoints containing counters to achieve very low runtime
performance degradation.
-
erlang.el- Erlang mode for Emacs
-
Editing support such as indentation, syntax highlighting,
electric commands, module name verification, comment support
including paragraph filling, skeletons, tags support and more
for erlang source code.
-
eprof
-
A time profiling tool; measure how time is used in Erlang
programs. Predecessor of fprof (see below).
-
fprof
-
Another Erlang profiler; measure how time is used in your
Erlang programs. Uses trace to file to minimize runtime
performance impact, and displays time for calling and called
functions.
-
instrument
-
Utility functions for obtaining and analysing resource usage
in an instrumented Erlang runtime system.
-
make
-
A make utility for Erlang similar to UNIX make.
-
tags
-
A tool for generating Emacs TAGS files from Erlang source
files.
-
xref
-
A cross reference tool. Can be used to check dependencies
between functions, modules, applications and releases.
