Subject: [PATCH v3 06/11] perf tools report: Use less for scripts output
Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2019 10:35:45 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190228183550.14126-7-andi@firstfloor.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190228183550.14126-1-andi@firstfloor.org>

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

The UI viewer for scripts output has a lot of limitations: limited size,
no search or save function, slow, and various other issues.

Just use 'less' to display directly on the terminal instead.

This won't work in gtk mode, but gtk doesn't support these
context menus anyways. If that is ever done could use an terminal
for the output.
