    go tool pprof http://localhost:5572/debug/pprof/heap

## Debugging rclone with pprof ##
If you use the `--rc` flag this will also enable the use of the go
profiling tools on the same port.
To use these, first [install go](https://golang.org/doc/install).
Then (for example) to profile rclone's memory use you can run:
go tool pprof -web http://localhost:5572/debug/pprof/heap
This should open a page in your browser showing what is using what
memory.
You can also use the `-text` flag to produce a textual summary
```
$ go tool pprof -text http://localhost:5572/debug/pprof/heap

Possible profiles to look at:
* Memory: `go tool pprof http://localhost:5572/debug/pprof/heap`
* 30-second CPU profile: `go tool pprof http://localhost:5572/debug/pprof/profile`
* 5-second execution trace: `wget http://localhost:5572/debug/pprof/trace?seconds=5`
See the [net/http/pprof docs](https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/pprof/)
for more info on how to use the profiling and for a general overview
see [the Go team's blog post on profiling go programs](https://blog.golang.org/profiling-go-programs).
The profiling hook is [zero overhead unless it is used](https://stackoverflow.com/q/26545159/164234).
