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

--mmap-pages=::
2013-09-01 14:36:13 +04:00
Number of mmap data pages (must be a power of two) or size
specification with appended unit character - B/K/M/G. The

--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.
