+# `self-profile`
+
+--------------------
+
+The `-Zself-profile` compiler flag enables rustc's internal profiler.
+When enabled, the compiler will output three binary files in the specified directory (or the current working directory if no directory is specified).
+These files can be analyzed by using the tools in the [`measureme`] repository.
+
+To control the data recorded in the trace files, use the `-Zself-profile-events` flag.
+
+For example:
+
+First, run a compilation session and provide the `-Zself-profile` flag:
+
+```console
+$ rustc --crate-name foo -Zself-profile`
+```
+
+This will generate three files in the working directory such as:
+
+- `foo-1234.events`
+- `foo-1234.string_data`
+- `foo-1234.string_index`
+
+Where `foo` is the name of the crate and `1234` is the process id of the rustc process.
+
+To get a summary of where the compiler is spending its time:
+
+```console
+$ ../measureme/target/release/summarize summarize foo-1234
+```
+
+To generate a flamegraph of the same data:
+
+```console
+$ ../measureme/target/release/inferno foo-1234
+```
+
+To dump the event data in a Chromium-profiler compatible format:
+
+```console
+$ ../measureme/target/release/crox foo-1234
+```
+
+For more information, consult the [`measureme`] documentation.
