Thanks for your review.
I sent a couple of patch again.

1. I modified a commit message of second patch to remove comment about â-aâ, ââallâ option.
2. I added â\nâ character when printing some error messages.
3. I added âError: Unknown argumentâ message.

But I thought that displaying current config with all possible keys and their default values,
and the restriction for only known keys depending on information of all perf configuration
can be included in next patch. 
Would you mind ?

Thanks,
