A later usage can reset a prior request. e.g.: - + -f trace: -f comm,tid,time,ip,sym - + The first -f suppresses trace events (field list is ""), but then the second invocation sets the fields to comm,tid,time,ip,sym. In this case a warning is given to the user: - + "Overriding previous field request for all events." - + Alternatively, consider the order: - + -f comm,tid,time,ip,sym -f trace: - + The first -f sets the fields for all events and the second -f suppresses trace events. The user is given a warning message about the override, and the result of the above is that only S/W and H/W events are displayed with the given fields. - + For the 'wildcard' option if a user selected field is invalid for an event type, a message is displayed to the user that the option is ignored for that type. For example: - + $ perf script -f comm,tid,trace 'trace' not valid for hardware events. Ignoring. 'trace' not valid for software events. Ignoring. - + Alternatively, if the type is given an invalid field is specified it is an error. For example: - + perf script -v -f sw:comm,tid,trace 'trace' not valid for software events. - + At this point usage is displayed, and perf-script exits. - + Finally, a user may not set fields to none for all event types. i.e., -f "" is not allowed. |
