Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: Fix documentation of verbose options
Date: Fri, 26 Feb 2021 10:31:44 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210226183145.1878782-1-irogers@google.com> (raw)

Option doesn't take a value, make sure the man pages agree. For example:

$ perf evlist --verbose=1
 Error: option `verbose' takes no value
