notcurses_stats - notcurses runtime statistics

|
|
|
|
```c

|
|
uint64_t failed_renders; // aborted renders, should be 0
|
|
uint64_t render_bytes; // bytes emitted to ttyfp
|
|
int64_t render_max_bytes; // max bytes emitted for a frame
|
|
int64_t render_min_bytes; // min bytes emitted for a frame
|
|
uint64_t render_ns; // nanoseconds spent in render+raster

# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
**notcurses_stats** acquires an atomic snapshot of statistics, primarily
|
|
related to notcurses_render(3). **notcurses_reset_stats** does the same, but
|
|
also resets all cumulative stats (immediate stats such as **fbbytes** are not
|
|
reset).
|
|
|
|
**renders** is the number of successful calls to **notcurses_render(3)**
|
|
or **notcurses_render_to_buffer(3)**. **failed_renders** is the number of
|
|
unsuccessful calls to these functions. **failed_renders** should be 0;
|
|
renders are not expected to fail except under exceptional circumstances.
|
|
should **notcurses_render(3)** fail while writing out a frame to the terminal,
|
|
it counts as a failed render.
|
|
|
|
**render_max_bytes** and **render_min_bytes** track the maximum and minimum
|
|
number of bytes used rasterizing a frame. A given state of Notcurses does not
|
|
correspond to a unique number of bytes; the size is also dependent on the
|
|
existing terminal state. As a first approximation, the time a terminal takes to
|
|
ingest and reflect a frame is dependent on the size of the rasterized frame.
|
|
|
|
**render_ns**, **render_max_ns**, and **render_min_ns** track the total
|
|
amount of time spent rendering and rasterizing frames in nanoseconds. Rendering
|
|
and rasterizing takes place in **notcurses_render(3)**, and is the entirety of
|
|
**notcurses_render_to_buffer(3)**. These steps are independent of the terminal.
|
|
|
|
**writeout_ns**, **writeout_max_ns**, and **writeout_min_ns** track the total
|
|
amount of time spent writing frames to the terminal. This takes place in only
|
|
**notcurses_render(3)**. If **notcurses_render_to_buffer(3)** is used, the
|
|
user is responsible for writing out the frame, and it will not be tracked by
|
|
any stat.
|
|
|
|
**cellemissions** reflects the number of EGCs written to the terminal.
|
|
**cellelisions** reflects the number of cells which were not written, due to
|
|
damage detection.
|
|
|
|
**fbbytes** is the total number of bytes devoted to framebuffers throughout
|
|
the **struct notcurses** context. **planes** is the number of planes in the
|
|
context. Neither of these stats can reach 0, due to the mandatory standard
|
|
plane.
|
|

|
# NOTES
|
|
|
|
Unsuccessful render operations do not contribute to the render timing stats.
|
|
|
|
# RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
Neither of these functions can fail. Neither returns any value.
