## NAME

bench::out::text - bench::out::text - Formatting benchmark results as human readable text

## DESCRIPTION

This package provides commands for fomatting of benchmark results into human readable text.

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::text** *bench\_result*

  This command formats the specified benchmark result for output to a file, socket, etc. This specific command generates human readable text.

  For other formatting styles see the packages **bench** and **bench::out::csv** which provide commands to format benchmark results in raw form, or as importable CSV data, respectively.
