Subject: [PATCH v6 13/13] perf record: introduce --ctl-fd[-ack] options
Date: Mon, 1 Jun 2020 23:20:23 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <fdb10392-15d9-be66-12e7-b1f465737a0e@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <f8e3a714-d9b1-4647-e1d2-9981cbaa83ec@linux.intel.com>


Introduce --ctl-fd[-ack] options to pass open file descriptors numbers
from command line. Extend perf-record.txt file with --ctl-fd[-ack]
options description. Document possible usage model introduced by
--ctl-fd[-ack] options by providing example bash shell script.
