+ <p>The <em>Tools</em> application contains a number of stand-alone
+ tools, which are useful when developing Erlang programs.</p>
+ <taglist>
+ <tag><em>cover</em></tag>
+ <item>A coverage analysis tool for Erlang.</item>
+ <tag><em>cprof</em></tag>
+ <item>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.</item>
+ <tag><em>erlang.el</em>- Erlang mode for Emacs</tag>
+ <item>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. </item>
+ <tag><em>eprof</em></tag>
+ <item>A time profiling tool; measure how time is used in Erlang
+ programs. Predecessor of <em>fprof</em> (see below).</item>
+ <tag><em>fprof</em></tag>
+ <item>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.</item>
+ <tag><em>instrument</em></tag>
+ <item>Utility functions for obtaining and analysing resource usage
+ in an instrumented Erlang runtime system.</item>
+ <tag><em>make</em></tag>
+ <item>A make utility for Erlang similar to UNIX make.</item>
+ <tag><em>tags</em></tag>
+ <item>A tool for generating Emacs TAGS files from Erlang source
+ files.</item>
+ <tag><em>xref</em></tag>
+ <item>A cross reference tool. Can be used to check dependencies
+ between functions, modules, applications and releases.</item>
