% start by loading the tool:

| ?- {ports_profiler(loader)}.
...


% the tool requires that the applications to be profiled are compiled in
% debug mode as the port data is collected using debug hooks:

| ?- set_logtalk_flag(debug, on).
...


% load the application to be profiled:

| ?- {searching(loader)}.
...


% run a query:

| ?- miss_cann::initial_state(Initial), hill_climbing(16)::solve(miss_cann, Initial, Path, Cost), miss_cann::print_path(Path).
...


% print the collected profiling data:

| ?- ports_profiler::data.
