Introduction
ProgressTracker is a module for tracking the progress on long-running operations. It can be thought of as the back end engine behind a status bar. ProgressTracker can do things such as track how far along a task is, provide an estimated time of completion, estimated time remaining, current speed, etc. It is designed to be as generic as possible; it can even base its speed calculations on something other than the system clock.
ProgressTracker also supports a notion of a parent tracker. This is used when a large task is composed of several individual tasks which may also be long-running. Downloading many large files over the Internet is a common example of this.
Any given ProgressTracker can be told about one or more parent trackers. When the child tracker's status is updated, the parent tracker's status is also updated in the same manner. Therefore, the progress on each individual component, as well as the overall progress, can all be kept in sync automatically.
Finally, you can register callbacks. Callbacks are functions that are called whenever the status of a tracker changes. They'll be passed the old and new status and are intended to do things like update on-screen status displays.
The cousin module Meter
can be used to nicely render
these trackers on a console.
Create a new Progress
object with the given name and number
of total units initialized as given. The start time will be initialized
with the current time at the present moment according to the system clock.
The units completed will be set to 0, the time source will be set to the
system clock, and the parents and callbacks will be empty.
If you need more control, see 'newProgress\''.
Example:
prog <- newProgress "mytracker" 1024
newProgress' :: ProgressStatus -> [ProgressCallback] -> IO Progress Source
Create a new Progress
object initialized with the given status and
callbacks.
No adjustment to the startTime
will be made. If you
want to use the system clock, you can initialize startTime
with
the return value of defaultTimeSource
and also pass defaultTimeSource
as the timing source.
addCallback :: Progress -> ProgressCallback -> IO () Source
Adds an new callback to an existing Progress
. The callback will be
called whenever the object's status is updated, except by the call to finishP.
Please note that the Progress object will be locked while the callback is running, so the callback will not be able to make any modifications to it.
Updating
incrP :: Progress -> Integer -> IO () Source
Increment the completed unit count in the Progress
object
by the amount given. If the value as given exceeds the total, then
the total will also be raised to match this value so that the
completed count never exceeds the total.
You can decrease the completed unit count by supplying a negative number here.
setP :: Progress -> Integer -> IO () Source
Set the completed unit count in the Progress
object to the specified
value. Unlike incrP
, this function sets the count to a specific value,
rather than adding to the existing value. If this value exceeds the total,
then the total will also be raised to match this value so that the completed
count never exceeds teh total.
incrTotal :: Progress -> Integer -> IO () Source
Increment the total unit count in the Progress
object by the amount
given. This would rarely be needed, but could be needed in some special cases
when the total number of units is not known in advance.
finishP :: Progress -> IO () Source
Call this when you are finished with the object. It is especially important to do this when parent objects are involved.
This will simply set the totalUnits to the current completedUnits count, but will not call the callbacks. It will additionally propogate any adjustment in totalUnits to the parents, whose callbacks will be called.
This ensures that the total expected counts on the parent are always correct. Without doing this, if, say, a transfer ended earlier than expected, ETA values on the parent would be off since it would be expecting more data than actually arrived.
Reading and Processing
getSpeed :: (ProgressStatuses a (IO b), Fractional b) => a -> IO b Source
Returns the speed in units processed per time unit. (If you are
using the default time source, this would be units processed per second).
This obtains the current speed solely from analyzing the Progress
object.
If no time has elapsed yet, returns 0.
You can use this against either a Progress
object or a ProgressStatus
object. This is in the IO monad because the speed is based on the current
time.
Example:
getSpeed progressobj >>= print
Don't let the type of this function confuse you. It is a fancy way of saying
that it can take either a Progress
or a ProgressStatus
object, and returns
a number that is valid as any Fractional type, such as a Double, Float, or
Rational.
getETR :: (ProgressStatuses a (IO Integer), ProgressStatuses a (IO Rational)) => a -> IO Integer Source
getETA :: (ProgressStatuses a (IO Integer), ProgressStatuses a (IO Rational)) => a -> IO Integer Source
Types
data ProgressStatus Source
The main progress status record.
ProgressStatus | |
|
type ProgressTimeSource = IO Integer Source
A function that, when called, yields the current time.
The default is defaultTimeSource
.
type ProgressCallback = ProgressStatus -> ProgressStatus -> IO () Source
The type for a callback function for the progress tracker.
When given at creation time to 'newProgress\'' or when added via addCallback
,
these functions get called every time the status of the tracker changes.
This function is passed two ProgressStatus
records: the first
reflects the status prior to the update, and the second reflects
the status after the update.
Please note that the owning Progress
object will be locked while the
callback is running, so the callback will not be able to make changes to it.
class ProgressStatuses a b where Source
withStatus :: a -> (ProgressStatus -> b) -> b Source
Lets you examine the ProgressStatus
that is contained
within a Progress
object. You can simply pass
a Progress
object and a function to withStatus
, and
withStatus
will lock the Progress
object (blocking any
modifications while you are reading it), then pass the object
to your function. If you happen to already have a ProgressStatus
object, withStatus will also accept it and simply pass it unmodified
to the function.
Utilities
defaultTimeSource :: ProgressTimeSource Source
The default time source for the system. This is defined as:
getClockTime >>= (return . clockTimeToEpoch)
