+Trace is a tool for viewing trace files.
+
+Trace files can be generated with:
+	- runtime/trace.Start
+	- net/http/pprof package
+	- go test -trace
+
+Example usage:
+Generate a trace file with 'go test':
+	go test -trace trace.out pkg
+View the trace in a web browser:
+	go tool trace trace.out
+Generate a pprof-like profile from the trace:
+	go tool trace -pprof=TYPE trace.out > TYPE.pprof
+
+Supported profile types are:
+	- net: network blocking profile
+	- sync: synchronization blocking profile
+	- syscall: syscall blocking profile
+	- sched: scheduler latency profile
+
+Then, you can use the pprof tool to analyze the profile:
+	go tool pprof TYPE.pprof
