perf-trace(1)
=============
NAME
----
perf-trace - strace inspired tool
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'perf trace'
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This command will show the events associated with the target, initially
syscalls, but other system events like pagefaults, task lifetime events,
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.
OPTIONS
-------
--all-cpus::
System-wide collection from all CPUs.
-e::
--expr::
List of events to show, currently only syscall names.
-o::
--output=::
Output file name.
-p::
--pid=::
Record events on existing process ID (comma separated list).
--tid=::
Record events on existing thread ID (comma separated list).
--uid=::
Record events in threads owned by uid. Name or number.
--no-inherit::
Child tasks do not inherit counters.
--mmap-pages=::
Number of mmap data pages. Must be a power of two.
--cpu::
Collect samples only on the list of CPUs provided. Multiple CPUs can be provided as a
comma-separated list with no space: 0,1. Ranges of CPUs are specified with -: 0-2.
In per-thread mode with inheritance mode on (default), Events are captured only when
the thread executes on the designated CPUs. Default is to monitor all CPUs.
--duration:
Show only events that had a duration greater than N.M ms.
--sched:
Accrue thread runtime and provide a summary at the end of the session.
