NAME

Bio::SearchIO::EventHandlerI - An abstract Event Handler for Search Result parsing

SYNOPSIS

# do not use this object directly it is an interface # See Bio::SearchIO::SearchResultEventBuilder for an implementation

    use Bio::SearchIO::SearchResultEventBuilder;
    my $handler = Bio::SearchIO::SearchResultEventBuilder->new();

DESCRIPTION

This interface describes the basic methods needed to handle Events thrown from parsing a Search Result such as FASTA, BLAST, or HMMer.
