+"""test-suite/lit plugin to collect metrics from QEMU logs.
+
+If you are running the test suite under QEMU and are generating logs
+that contain metrics (typically from a plugin), you can use this
+module to:
+
+1. save the logs to a file
+2. parse any colon (:) separated metrics and collect them in the
+metrics
+
+For example, the example plugin libinsn.so outputs dynamic instruction
+counts in the following format:
+
+cpu 0 insns: 42
+total insns: 1024
+
+If you enable the plugin and tell QEMU to log it:
+
+-DTEST_SUITE_RUN_UNDER='qemu -plugin libinsn.so -d plugin'
+-DTEST_SUITE_EXTRA_LIT_MODULES=qemulog
+
+You can then compare those instruction counts later:
+
+./compare.py results.json -m 'total insns'
