Re: [PATCH 2/4] perf tools: Add functions which can get or set perf config variables.

[taeung <treeze.taeung@gmail.com>]

Hi, Jiri Olsa

Thanks for your feedbacks on my patches.

There are one thing I don't understand very well.
I wrote a number 1) in the middle of the your feedbacks to mark it.

I don't follow, could you elaborate it little more?

1) I understood that the name must be completely checked first.
    But I don't know the callback. What does it mean ?
    Could you elaborate it little more?
