Saving TimerOutput to file

[anandijain]

Hello, thanks for this package.

I'm wondering what the recommended way to write a TimerOutput to a human and computer readable file is.

I saw a closed issue about exporting to DataFrame. I don't think I'll need anything that heavy.

It looks like I can just use show(io, to) but I didn't see anything in the readme for this, so just wanted to ask.

This way would also be only human readable I think.

For just writing the pretty printed version then just calling e.g print_timer or show to a file IO is indeed the way to do it.

And I assume that machine readable is not currently possible then?

You can just use the Serialization standard library to write arbitrary julia types to a file and reload them in another Julia session if that is what yiu want.
