NAME
       percept_profile - Percept Collector.

DESCRIPTION
       Percept Collector

       This module provides the user interface for the percept data collection (profiling).

DATA TYPES
	 percept_option() = procs | ports | exclusive :

EXPORTS
       start(Filename::string()) -> {ok, Port} | {already_started, Port}

	      Equivalent to start(Filename, [procs]) .

       start(Filename::string(), Options::[percept_option()]) -> {ok, Port} | {already_started, Port}

	      Types  Port = port()

	      Starts profiling with supplied options. All events are stored in the file given by Filename. An explicit call to stop/0 is needed to
	      stop profiling.

       start(Filename::string(), MFA::mfa(), Options::[percept_option()]) -> ok | {already_started, Port} | {error, not_started}

	      Types  Port = port()

	      Starts profiling at the entrypoint specified by the MFA. All events are collected, this means that processes outside  the  scope	of
	      the entry-point are also profiled. No explicit call to stop/0 is needed, the profiling stops when the entry function returns.

       stop() -> ok | {error, not_started}

	      Stops profiling.
