# [NAME](#NAME)

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

# [SYNOPSIS](#SYNOPSIS)

# [DESCRIPTION](#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](#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()"
