[PATCH v14 11/19] perf, tools: Add a --no-desc flag to perf list

[Sukadev Bhattiprolu]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add a --no-desc flag to perf list to not print the event descriptions
that were earlier added for JSON events. This may be useful to
get a less crowded listing.

It's still default to print descriptions as that is the more useful
default for most users.

v2: Rename --quiet to --no-desc. Add option to man page.
