Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 8b9e74eb8a perf tools: Add --tui and --stdio to choose the UI
Relying just on ~/.perfconfig or rebuilding the tool disabling support
for the TUI is too cumbersome, so allow specifying which UI to use and
make the command line switch override whatever is in ~/.perfconfig.

perf-report(1)
==============
NAME
----
perf-report - Read perf.data (created by perf record) and display the profile
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'perf report' [-i <file> | --input=file]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This command displays the performance counter profile information recorded
via perf record.
OPTIONS
-------
-i::
--input=::
Input file name. (default: perf.data)
-d::
--dsos=::
Only consider symbols in these dsos. CSV that understands
file://filename entries.
-n::
--show-nr-samples::
Show the number of samples for each symbol
-T::
--threads::
Show per-thread event counters
-C::
--comms=::
Only consider symbols in these comms. CSV that understands
file://filename entries.
-S::
--symbols=::
Only consider these symbols. CSV that understands
file://filename entries.
-s::
--sort=::
Sort by key(s): pid, comm, dso, symbol, parent.
-w::
--field-width=::
Force each column width to the provided list, for large terminal
readability.
-t::
--field-separator=::
Use a special separator character and don't pad with spaces, replacing
all occurances of this separator in symbol names (and other output)
with a '.' character, that thus it's the only non valid separator.
-g [type,min]::
--call-graph::
Display callchains using type and min percent threshold.
type can be either:
- flat: single column, linear exposure of callchains.
- graph: use a graph tree, displaying absolute overhead rates.
- fractal: like graph, but displays relative rates. Each branch of
the tree is considered as a new profiled object. +
Default: fractal,0.5.
--stdio:: Use the stdio interface.
--tui:: Use the TUI interface, that is integrated with annotate and allows
zooming into DSOs or threads, among other features. Use of --tui
requires a tty, if one is not present, as when piping to other
commands, the stdio interface is used.
