Subject: [PATCH 05/11] perf script: Show proper message when failed list scripts
Date: Mon, 15 Aug 2016 18:46:21 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1471297587-1229-6-git-send-email-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1471297587-1229-1-git-send-email-acme@kernel.org>

From: He Kuang <hekuang@huawei.com>

Perf shows the usage message when perf scripts folder failed to open,
which misleads users to let them think the command is being mistyped.

This patch shows a proper message and guides users to check the
PERF_EXEC_PATH environment variable in that case.

Before:

  $ perf script --list

  Usage: perf script [<options>]
   or: perf script [<options>] record <script> [<record-options>] <command>
   or: perf script [<options>] report <script> [script-args]
   or: perf script [<options>] <script> [<record-options>] <command>
   or: perf script [<options>] <top-script> [script-args]

      -l, --list            list available scripts

After:

  $ perf script --list
  open(/home/user/perf-core/scripts) failed.
  Check for "PERF_EXEC_PATH" env to set scripts dir.
