|
|
|
|
-k <path>::
|
|
--vmlinux=<path>::
|
|
Path to vmlinux. Required for annotation functionality.
|

|
|
-m <pages>::
|
|
--mmap-pages=<pages>::
|
|
Number of mmapped data pages.
|
|
|
|

|
|
--pid=<pid>::
|
|
Profile events on existing pid.
|
|
|
|
-r <priority>::
|
|

|
|
--sym-annotate=<symbol>::
|
|
Annotate this symbol. Requires -k option.
|
|
|

-v::
|
|
--verbose::
|
|
Be more verbose (show counter open errors, etc).
|
|
|
