[PATCH 08/12] perf tools: Search for more options when passing args to -h

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Wed Oct 28 2015 - 11:32:31 EST


From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx>

Recently 'perf <tool> -h' was made aware of arguments and would show
just the help for the arguments specified, but that required a strict
form, i.e.:

$ perf -h --tui

worked, but:

$ perf -h tui

didn't.

Make it support both cases and also look at the option help when neither
matches, so that he following examples works:

$ perf report -h interface

Usage: perf report [<options>]

--gtk Use the GTK2 interface
--stdio Use the stdio interface
--tui Use the TUI interface

$ perf report -h stack

Usage: perf report [<options>]

-g, --call-graph <print_type,threshold[,print_limit],order,
sort_key[,branch]>
Display call graph (stack chain/backtrace):

print_type: call graph printing style (graph|flat|fractal|none)
threshold: minimum call graph inclusion threshold (<percent>)
print_limit: maximum number of call graph entry (<number>)
order: call graph order (caller|callee)
sort_key: call graph sort key (function|address)
branch: include last branch info to call graph (branch)

Default: graph,0.5,caller,function
--max-stack <n> Set the maximum stack depth when parsing the
callchain, anything beyond the specified depth
will be ignored. Default: 127
