Spacetime.Series

# Module Spacetime.Series

    module Series: sig .. end

    type t

Type representing a file that will hold a series of heap snapshots together with additional information required to interpret those snapshots.

    val create : path:string -> t

`create ~path` creates a series file at `path`.

    val save_event : ?time:float -> t -> event_name:string -> unit

`save_event` writes an event, which is an arbitrary string, into the given series file. This may be used for identifying particular points during program execution when analysing the profile. The optional `time` parameter is as for `Spacetime.Snapshot.take`.

    val save_and_close : ?time:float -> t -> unit

`save_and_close series` writes information into `series` required for interpeting the snapshots that `series` contains and then closes the `series` file. This function must be called to produce a valid series file. The optional `time` parameter is as for `Spacetime.Snapshot.take`.
