This explanation looks too terse.  How about this?

	Show header information in the perf.data file.  This includes
        various information like hostname, os and perf version, cpu/mem
        info, perf command line, event list and so on.  Currently only
        --stdio output supports this feature.

Thanks,
Namhyung
