Subject: [PATCH 5/8] perf record: Fix documentation for a inexistent option '-l'
Date: Thu, 19 Oct 2017 14:45:12 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171019174515.7407-6-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20171019174515.7407-1-acme@kernel.org>
From: Taeung Song <treeze.taeung@gmail.com>
'perf record' had a '-l' option that meant "scale counter values" a very
long time ago, but it currently belongs to 'perf stat' as '-c'. So
remove it. I found this problem in the below case.
$ perf record -e cycles -l sleep 3
Error: unknown switch `l
