- perf-record(1)
- ==============
- NAME
- ----
- perf-record - Run a command and record its profile into perf.data
- SYNOPSIS
- --------
- [verse]
- 'perf record' [-e <EVENT> | --event=EVENT] [-l] [-a] <command>
- 'perf record' [-e <EVENT> | --event=EVENT] [-l] [-a] -- <command> [<options>]
- DESCRIPTION
- -----------
- This command runs a command and gathers a performance counter profile
- from it, into perf.data - without displaying anything.
- This file can then be inspected later on, using 'perf report'.
- OPTIONS
- -------
- <command>...::
- Any command you can specify in a shell.
- -e::
- --event=::
- Select the PMU event. Selection can be:
- - a symbolic event name (use 'perf list' to list all events)
- - a raw PMU event (eventsel+umask) in the form of rNNN where NNN is a
- hexadecimal event descriptor.
- - a hardware breakpoint event in the form of '\mem:addr[:access]'
- where addr is the address in memory you want to break in.
- Access is the memory access type (read, write, execute) it can
- be passed as follows: '\mem:addr[:[r][w][x]]'.
- If you want to profile read-write accesses in 0x1000, just set
- 'mem:0x1000:rw'.
- -a::
- System-wide collection.
- -l::
- Scale counter values.
- -p::
- --pid=::
- Record events on existing pid.
- -r::
- --realtime=::
- Collect data with this RT SCHED_FIFO priority.
- -A::
- --append::
- Append to the output file to do incremental profiling.
- -f::
- --force::
- Overwrite existing data file.
- -c::
- --count=::
- Event period to sample.
- -o::
- --output=::
- Output file name.
- -i::
- --inherit::
- Child tasks inherit counters.
- -F::
- --freq=::
- Profile at this frequency.
- -m::
- --mmap-pages=::
- Number of mmap data pages.
- -g::
- --call-graph::
- Do call-graph (stack chain/backtrace) recording.
- -v::
- --verbose::
- Be more verbose (show counter open errors, etc).
- -s::
- --stat::
- Per thread counts.
- -d::
- --data::
- Sample addresses.
- -n::
- --no-samples::
- Don't sample.
- -R::
- --raw-samples::
- Collect raw sample records from all opened counters (typically for tracepoint counters).
