[PATCH V2 5/6] perf auxtrace: Add itrace d+o option to direct debug log to stdout

From: Adrian Hunter
Date: Tue Oct 26 2021 - 05:02:07 EST


It can be useful to see debug output in between normal output.

Add 'o' to the flags of debug option 'd', so that '--itrace=d+o' can
specify output of the debug log to stdout.
