[PATCH v1 04/10] perf, tools, record: Clarify help for --switch-output

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The help description for --switch-output looks like there
are multiple comma separated fields. But it's actually a choice
of different options. Make it clear and less confusing.

Before:

% perf report -h
...
        --switch-output[=<signal,size,time>]
                          Switch output when receive SIGUSR2 or cross size,time threshold

After:

% perf report -h
...

        --switch-output[=<signal or size[BKMG] or time[smhd]>]
                          Switch output when receiving SIGUSR2 (signal) or cross a size or time threshold
