Currently, debug messages is output to stderr, add --debug-file option to support redirection to a specified file. Some test scenarios: # perf --list-opts --help --version --exec-path --html-path --paginate --no-pager --debugfs-dir --buildid-dir --list-cmds --list-opts --debug --debug-file # perf --debug-file No path given for --debug-file.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
