NAME

       IPC::Run3::ProfReporter - base class for handling profiling data

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       See IPC::Run3::ProfPP and for an example subclass.

       This class just notes and accumulates times; subclasses use methods like
       "handle_app_call", "handle_run_exit" and "handle_app_exit" to emit reports on it.  The
       default methods for these handlers are noops.

       If run from the command line, a reporter will be created and run on each logfile given as
       a command line parameter or on run3.out if none are given.

       This allows reports to be run like:

           perl -MIPC::Run3::ProfPP -e1
           perl -MIPC::Run3::ProfPP -e1 foo.out bar.out

       Use "-" to read from STDIN (the log file format is meant to be moderately greppable):

           grep "^cvs " run3.out perl -MIPC::Run3::ProfPP -e1 -

       Use --app to show only application level statistics (ie don't emit a report section for
       each command run).

METHODS

       "IPC::Run3::ProfReporter->new"
           Returns a new profile reporting object.

       "$reporter->handle_app_call( ... )"
       "$reporter->handle_app_exit( ... )"
       "$reporter->handle_run_exit( ... )"
           These methods are called by the handled events (see below).

       "$reporter->app_call(\@cmd, $time)"
       "$reporter->app_exit($time)"
       "$reporter->run_exit(@times)"
              $self->app_call( $time );
              my $time = $self->get_app_call_time;

           Sets the time (in floating point seconds) when the application, run3(), or system()
           was called or exited.  If no time parameter is passed, uses IPC::Run3's time routine.

           Use get_...() to retrieve these values (and _accum values, too).  This is a separate
           method to speed the execution time of the setters just a bit.

       "$reporter->get_run_count()"
       "$reporter->get_app_call_time()"
       "$reporter->get_app_exit_time()"
       "$reporter->get_app_cmd()"
       "$reporter->get_app_time()"
       "$reporter->get_app_cumulative_time()"
       "$reporter->get_run_call_time()"
       "$reporter->get_run_exit_time()"
       "$reporter->get_run_time()"
       "$reporter->get_run_cumulative_time()"
       "$reporter->get_sys_call_time()"
       "$reporter->get_sys_exit_time()"
       "$reporter->get_sys_time()"
       "$reporter->get_sys_cumulative_time()"
       "$reporter->get_run_cmd()"
