Subject: [PATCH 03/44] perf record: Clarify help for --switch-output
Date: Thu, 21 Mar 2019 15:51:01 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190321185142.11441-4-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190321185142.11441-1-acme@kernel.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 record -h
...
--switch-output[=<signal,size,time>]
Switch output when receive SIGUSR2 or cross size,time threshold
After:
% perf record -h
...
--switch-output[=<signal or size[BKMG] or time[smhd]>]
Switch output when receiving SIGUSR2 (signal) or cross a size or time threshold
