Subject: [PATCH v1 04/10] perf, tools, record: Clarify help for --switch-output
Date: Mon, 11 Mar 2019 13:24:40 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190311202446.10210-5-andi@firstfloor.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190311202446.10210-1-andi@firstfloor.org>
From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>
The help description for --switch-output looks like there
are multiple comma separated fields. But it's actually a choice
of different options. Make it clear and less confusing.
Before:
% perf report -h
...
--switch-output[=<signal,size,time>]
Switch output when receive SIGUSR2 or cross size,time threshold
After:
% perf report -h
...
--switch-output[=<signal or size[BKMG] or time[smhd]>]
Switch output when receiving SIGUSR2 (signal) or cross a size or time threshold
