## NAME

bench::out::csv - bench::out::csv - Formatting benchmark results as CSV

## SYNOPSIS

package require **Tcl 8.5 9**

package require **bench::out::csv ?0.1.3?**

**::bench::out::csv** *bench\_result*

```

```

## DESCRIPTION

This package provides commands for fomatting of benchmark results into a CSV table importable by spread sheets.

A reader interested in the generation or processing of such results should go and read *bench - Processing benchmark suites* instead.

If the bench language itself is the actual interest please start with the *bench language introduction* and then proceed from there to the formal *bench language specification*.

## PUBLIC API

- **::bench::out::csv** *bench\_result*

  This command formats the specified benchmark result for output to a file, socket, etc. This specific command generates CSV data importable by spread sheets.

  For other formatting styles see the packages **bench** and **bench::out::text** which provide commands to format benchmark results in raw form, or for human consumption, respectively.
