stats

Show journal and performance statistics.

Flags:
  -v --verbose              show more detailed output
  -o --output-file=FILE     write output to FILE.

The stats command shows summary information for the whole journal, or a
matched part of it. With a reporting interval, it shows a report for
each report period.

The default output is fairly impersonal, though it reveals the main file
name. With -v/--verbose, more details are shown, like file paths,
included files, and commodity names.

It also shows some run time statistics:

-   elapsed time
-   throughput: the number of transactions processed per second
-   live: the peak memory in use by the program to do its work
-   alloc: the peak memory allocation from the OS as seen by GHC.
    Measuring this externally, eg with GNU time, is more accurate;
    usually that will be a larger number; sometimes (with swapping?)
    smaller.

The stats command's run time is similar to that of a balance report.

Example:

$ hledger stats -f examples/1ktxns-1kaccts.journal 
Main file           : .../1ktxns-1kaccts.journal
Included files      : 0
Txns span           : 2000-01-01 to 2002-09-27 (1000 days)
Last txn            : 2002-09-26 (7827 days ago)
Txns                : 1000 (1.0 per day)
Txns last 30 days   : 0 (0.0 per day)
Txns last 7 days    : 0 (0.0 per day)
Payees/descriptions : 1000
Accounts            : 1000 (depth 10)
Commodities         : 26
Market prices       : 1000
Runtime stats       : 0.12 s elapsed, 8266 txns/s, 4 MB live, 16 MB alloc

This command supports the -o/--output-file option (but not
-O/--output-format).
