| 6 | perf-trace - strace inspired tool |
| 7 | |
| 8 | SYNOPSIS |
| 9 | -------- |
| 10 | [verse] |
| 11 | 'perf trace' |
| 12 | |
| 13 | DESCRIPTION |
| 14 | ----------- |
| 15 | This command will show the events associated with the target, initially |
| 16 | syscalls, but other system events like pagefaults, task lifetime events, |
| 17 | scheduling events, etc. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | Initially this is a live mode only tool, but eventually will work with |
| 20 | perf.data files like the other tools, allowing a detached 'record' from |
| 21 | analysis phases. |
| 22 | |

| 48 | |
| 49 | --cpu:: |
| 50 | Collect samples only on the list of CPUs provided. Multiple CPUs can be provided as a |

| 52 | In per-thread mode with inheritance mode on (default), Events are captured only when |
| 53 | the thread executes on the designated CPUs. Default is to monitor all CPUs. |
