<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>
