+NAME
+----
+perf-test - Run a command and gather performance counter event count if any
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'perf test' [-e <EVENT> | --event=EVENT] [-a] <command>
+'perf test' [-e <EVENT> | --event=EVENT] [-a] -- <command> [<options>]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This command runs a command and gathers performance counter event count
+from it.
+
+
+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) or a raw PMU
+ event (eventsel+umask) in the form of rNNN where NNN is a
+ hexadecimal event descriptor.
+
+-a::
+ system-wide collection
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+
+$ perf test -- make -j
+
+
+SEE ALSO
