-# perf(1)
-
-```markdown
-perf list show supported hw/sw events
-
-perf stat
- -p <pid> .. show stats for running process
- -I <ms> ... show stats periodically over interval <ms>
- -e <ev> ... filter for events
-
-perf top
- -p <pid> .. show stats for running process
- -F <hz> ... sampling frequency
- -K ........ hide kernel threads
-
-perf record
- -p <pid> ............... record stats for running process
- -F <hz> ................ sampling frequency
- --call-graph <method> .. [fp, dwarf, lbr] method how to caputre backtrace
- fp : use frame-pointer, need to compile with
- -fno-omit-frame-pointer
- dwarf: use .cfi debug information
- lbr : use hardware last branch record facility
- -g ..................... short-hand for --call-graph fp
- -e <ev> ................ filter for events
-
-perf report
- -n .................... annotate symbols with nr of samples
- --stdio ............... report to stdio, if not presen tui mode
- -g graph,0.5,caller ... show caller based call chains with value >0.5

-### Flamegraph with single event trace
-```markdown
-perf record -g -e cpu-cycles -p <pid>
-perf script | FlameGraph/stackcollapse-perf.pl | FlameGraph/flamegraph.pl > cycles-flamegraph.svg

-
-### Flamegraph with multiple event traces
-```markdown
-perf record -g -e cpu-cycles,page-faults -p <pid>
-perf script --per-event-dump
-# fold & generate as above
