14 =head1 NAME
16 Bio::SearchIO::EventHandlerI - An abstract Event Handler for Search Result parsing
18 =head1 SYNOPSIS
20 # do not use this object directly it is an interface
21 # See Bio::SearchIO::SearchResultEventBuilder for an implementation
23 use Bio::SearchIO::SearchResultEventBuilder;
24 my $handler = Bio::SearchIO::SearchResultEventBuilder->new();
26 =head1 DESCRIPTION
28 This interface describes the basic methods needed to handle Events
29 thrown from parsing a Search Result such as FASTA, BLAST, or HMMer.
