stdout, stderr, and stdin will be relayed to the calling process. As will the SIGINT event.

flame.visualize(dataFilename, outputFilename, callback)

Will consume the datafile specified by dataFilename, this datafile will be produced by the sampler using flame.collect.

flame.visualize will then output a standalone HTML file to outputFilename. When completed the callback will be called with no extra arguments, except a possible error.
