sql profiler trace file

im trying to understand how the profiler works. so i started 2
profilers,one listen to another and I saw the profiler is running:
exec sp_trace_create @P1 output, 1, NULL, NULL, NULL
which means @tracefile = NULL
so where from the profiler read the results?!

Re: sql profiler trace file

Profiler essentially creates a SQL Trace and streams the trace data back to
the Profiler client GUI. It is recommended that you use SQL Trace scripts
instead of Profiler on an active system due to the overhead. You can use
Profiler to generate SQL Trace scripts.
