APPENDIX

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

new

 Title   : new
 Usage   : my $obj = new Bio::SearchIO::Hmmer3->new();
 Function: Builds a new Bio::SearchIO::Hmmer3 object
 Returns : an instance of Bio::SearchIO::Hmmer3
 Args    : -fh/-file => HMMER filename
           -format   => 'hmmer3'

next_result

 Title   : next_result
 Usage   : my $hit = $searchio->next_result;
 Function: Returns the next Result from a search
 Returns : Bio::Search::Result::ResultI object
 Args    : none

start_element

 Title   : start_element
 Usage   : $eventgenerator->start_element
 Function: Handles a start event
 Returns : none
 Args    : hashref with at least 2 keys 'Data' and 'Name'

end_element

 Title   : end_element
 Usage   : $eventgeneartor->end_element
 Function: Handles and end element event
 Returns : none
 Args    : hashref with at least 2 keys 'Data' and 'Name'

element

 Title   : element
 Usage   : $eventhandler->element({'Name' => $name, 'Data' => $str});
 Function: Convienence method that calls start_element, characters, end_element
 Returns : none
 Args    : Hash ref with the keys 'Name' and 'Data'

characters

 Title   : characters
 Usage   : $eventgenerator->characters($str)
 Function: Send a character events
 Returns : none
 Args    : string

within_element

 Title   : within_element
 Usage   : if( $eventgenerator->within_element( $element ) ) {}
 Function: Test if we are within a particular element
           This is different than 'in' because within can be tested for
           a whole block
 Returns : boolean
 Args    : string element name

in_element

 Title   : in_element
 Usage   : if( $eventgenerator->in_element( $element ) ) {}
 Function: Test if we are in a particular element
           This is different than 'within' because 'in' only
           tests its immediate parent
 Returns : boolean
 Args    : string element name

start_document

 Title   : start_document
 Usage   : $eventgenerator->start_document
 Function: Handle a start document event
 Returns : none
 Args    : none

end_document

 Title   : end_document
 Usage   : $eventgenerator->end_document
 Function: Handles an end document event
 Returns : Bio::Search::Result::ResultI object
 Args    : none

result_count

 Title   : result_count
 Usage   : my $count = $searchio->result_count
 Function: Returns the number of results processed
 Returns : interger
 Args    : none
