NAME


debug::heartbeat - debug narrative - heartbeat






SYNOPSIS


package require Tcl 8.5


package require debug::heartbeat ?1.0.1?


package require debug ?1?


debug heartbeat ?delta?










DESCRIPTION






API



  

  
This method activates or disables a heartbeat with which to monitor the
      event loop of an event-based Tcl application.
    
It reserves the debug tag heartbeat for its operation
        and writes a message every delta milliseconds.

    
A delta-value <= 0 disables the heartbeat.

    
The message produced by the heartbeat contains a sequence
        counter and the time in milliseconds since the last beat, thus providing
        insight into timing variationsn and deviations from the nominal
        delta.
