Catman...chmark(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

Catmandu::Fix::Bind::benchmark — a binder that clocks how long your Fix functions take to run 💅

like, it's the little stopwatch bestie for your Catmandu fixes, from the User Contributed Perl Documentation (that's the 3pm vibe, iykyk) 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

 do benchmark(output:/dev/stderr)
    foo()
 end

 # will create as side effect computation statistics on the stderr

 elapsed   command              calls    sec/comm
 -------------------------------------------------------------
 0.000006  Catmandu::Fix::foo   1 times  0.000006 secs/command

so you wrap your fix in the binder, point it at a file, and it just ✨drops the stats✨ as a side effect. the whole thing is giving "I'll be over here quietly timing you" 🫶

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so the benchmark binder is the main character that runs all the Fix functions like normal, but ALSO — as a little side effect — it calculates the execution time of all wrapped functions over all input records. 🕐✨

like it's not just doing the work, it's timing the work. no cap. every record that flows through gets counted, and at the end you get the receipts 💅

---

🎀 CONFIGURATION 🎀

🌸 output

Required. The path of a file to which the benchmark statistics will be written. 📝

like, you HAVE to give it somewhere to write the numbers. no path, no stats, periodt. (In the example above it's /dev/stderr, which is a whole mood 🫶)
