scheduling events, etc.

Initially this is a live mode only tool, but eventually will work with

perf.data files like the other tools, allowing a detached 'record' from

analysis phases.
|
||||
This is a live mode tool in addition to working with perf.data files like
|
||||
the other perf tools. Files can be generated using the 'perf record' command
|
||||
but the session needs to include the raw_syscalls events (-e 'raw_syscalls:*').
|
||||
Alernatively, the 'perf trace record' can be used as a shortcut to
|
||||
automatically include the raw_syscalls events when writing events to a file.

The following options apply to perf trace; options to perf trace record are
|
||||
found in the perf record man page.
