## Syntax
~~~ txt
pprof [ADDRESS]
~~~
Optionally pprof takes an address; the default is `localhost:6053`.
An extra option can be set with this extended syntax:
~~~ txt
pprof [ADDRESS] {
block [RATE]
}
~~~
- If not specified, **ADDRESS** defaults to localhost:6053.
- `block` option allow to enable the `block` profiling. see [Diagnostics, chapter profiling](https://golang.org/doc/diagnostics.html).
if you need to use `block` profile, set a positive value to **RATE**. See [runtime.SetBlockProfileRate](https://golang.org/pkg/runtime/#SetBlockProfileRate).
if not specified, **RATE** default's to 1. if `block` option is not specified the `block` profiling is disabled.
* `block` option enables block profiling, **RATE** defaults to 1. **RATE** must be a positive value.
See [Diagnostics, chapter profiling](https://golang.org/doc/diagnostics.html) and
[runtime.SetBlockProfileRate](https://golang.org/pkg/runtime/#SetBlockProfileRate) for what block
profiling entails.
