# 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.

Here is an example use:

    do prog <- newProgress "mytracker" 1024
       incrP prog 10
       getETR prog >>= print           -- prints number of seconds remaining
       incrP prog 500
       finishP prog

newProgress Source #

Arguments

:: String | Name of this tracker
-> Integer | Total units expected
-> IO Progress |

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.

addParent Source #

Arguments

:: Progress | The child object
-> Progress | The parent to add to this child
-> IO () |

Adds a new parent to an existing `Progress`. The parent will automatically have its completed and total counters incremented by the value of those counters in the existing `Progress`.

# 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.

incrP' :: Progress -> Integer -> IO () Source #

Like `incrP`, but never modify the total.

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.

setP' :: Progress -> Integer -> IO () Source #

Like `setP`, but never modify the 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.

setTotal :: Progress -> Integer -> IO () Source #

Set the total unit count in the `Progress` object to the specified value. Like `incrTotal`, this would rarely be needed.

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.

withStatus :: ProgressStatuses a b => 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.

getETR :: (ProgressStatuses a (IO Integer), ProgressStatuses a (IO Rational)) => a -> IO Integer Source #

Returns the estimated time remaining, in standard time units.

Returns 0 whenever `getSpeed` would return 0.

See the comments under `getSpeed` for information about this function's type and result.

getETA :: (ProgressStatuses a (IO Integer), ProgressStatuses a (IO Rational)) => a -> IO Integer Source #

Returns the estimated system clock time of completion, in standard time units. Returns the current time whenever `getETR` would return 0.

See the comments under `getSpeed` for information about this function's type and result.

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.
