|
+ list can be prepended with the type, trace, sw or hw,
|

to indicate to which event type the field list applies.

+ perf script -f <fields>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ is equivalent to:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ perf script -f trace:<fields> -f sw:<fields> -f hw:<fields>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ i.e., the specified fields apply to all event types if the type string
|
|
|
+ is not given.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ The arguments are processed in the order received. A later usage can
|
|
|
+ reset a prior request. e.g.:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ -f trace: -f comm,tid,time,sym
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ The first -f suppresses trace events (field list is ""), but then the
|
|
|
+ second invocation sets the fields to comm,tid,time,sym. In this case a
|
|
|
+ warning is given to the user:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ "Overriding previous field request for all events."
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Alternativey, consider the order:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ -f comm,tid,time,sym -f trace:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ The first -f sets the fields for all events and the second -f
|
|
|
+ suppresses trace events. The user is given a warning message about
|
|
|
+ the override, and the result of the above is that only S/W and H/W
|
|
|
+ events are displayed with the given fields.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ For the 'wildcard' option if a user selected field is invalid for an
|
|
|
+ event type, a message is displayed to the user that the option is
|
|
|
+ ignored for that type. For example:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ $ perf script -f comm,tid,trace
|
|
|
+ 'trace' not valid for hardware events. Ignoring.
|
|
|
+ 'trace' not valid for software events. Ignoring.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Alternatively, if the type is given an invalid field is specified it
|
|
|
+ is an error. For example:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ perf script -v -f sw:comm,tid,trace
|
|
|
+ 'trace' not valid for software events.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ At this point usage is displayed, and perf-script exits.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Finally, a user may not set fields to none for all event types.
|
|
|
+ i.e., -f "" is not allowed.
