# PetscLogHandlerCreate

Create a log handler for profiling events and stages. PETSc provides several implementations of `PetscLogHandler` that interface to different ways to summarize or visualize profiling data: see `PetscLogHandlerType` for a list.

## Synopsis

    #include "petscsys.h"
    PetscErrorCode PetscLogHandlerCreate(MPI_Comm comm, PetscLogHandler *handler)

Collective

## Input Parameter

- comm - the communicator for synchronizing and viewing events with this handler

## Output Parameter

- handler - the `PetscLogHandler`

## Notes

This does not put the handler in use in PETSc’s global logging system: use `PetscLogHandlerStart()` after creation.

See `PetscLogHandler` for example usage.
