Sorry - I believe we should NAK this patch.
It would turn the following
./perf nonsuchcmd --help
No manual entry for perf-nonsuchcmd
into
./perf nonsuchcmd --help
No manual entry for nonsuchcmd
The former is correct, the name of the man page includes the prefix "perf-"
NAK
(cc-ing Frederic in case he sees it differently)
Thank You
John Kacur

Thanks. Since we think the former is better, why not make
the code compact? Like,
diff --git a/tools/perf/builtin-help.c b/tools/perf/builtin-help.c
index 9f810b1..65e2691 100644
--- a/tools/perf/builtin-help.c
+++ b/tools/perf/builtin-help.c
@@ -314,8 +314,6 @@ static const char *cmd_to_page(const char *perf_cmd)
return "perf";
else if (!prefixcmp(perf_cmd, "perf"))
return perf_cmd;
- else if (is_perf_command(perf_cmd))
- return prepend("perf-", perf_cmd);
else
return prepend("perf-", perf_cmd);
}

I personally don't mind.
Having either
./perf nonsuchcmd --help
No manual entry for perf-nonsuchcmd
or
./perf nonsuchcmd --help
No manual entry for nonsuchcmd
both make sense for the user.
