print-monitors

Syntax:

 print-monitor function-or-method &optional stream
 print-monitors &optional stream

The function print-monitor prints a performance report for the specified function or method to the designated stream. The report contains the following information:

• the name of the function or method

• the number of times the function or method was called

• the number of seconds spent in this function or method and in the functions that it calls

• the number of seconds spent exclusively in this function or method

• the number of words of storage allocated for this function or method and for all the functions that it calls

• the number of words of storage allocated exclusively for this function or method

The function print-monitors prints performance reports for all monitored functions and methods to the specified stream.

The function-or-method argument to print-monitor specifies the name of a monitored function, a method object, or the name of a method. A method name has the following form:

 (method generic-function-name {qualifiers}* 
                                  ({specializer-name}*)) 

The default value of the optional stream argument to these functions is the stream that is the value of the Common Lisp variable
*standard-output*.

Note that the report does not include zero counts.
