flamegraph-sample

The MacOS sample command is a quick and dirty tool to get stack traces. This turns the output of sample into an input for flamegraph.pl (see Brendan Gregg's flamegraph tool)

Suppose you've captured profiling information on MacOS using sample, like this

sample processName -f samples.txt

To make a flamegraph, run

python stackcollapse-sample.py samples.txt > samples.folded

Then run flamegraph (from here)

$ ./flamegraph.pl samples.folded > samples.svg

and open the SVG with your web browser.
