DESCRIPTION
-----------
This command displays the performance counter profile information recorded
via perf record.

OPTIONS
-------
-i::
--input=::
        Input file name. (default: perf.data)
-d::
--dsos=::
	Only consider symbols in these dsos. CSV that understands
	file://filename entries.
-n
--show-nr-samples
	Show the number of samples for each symbol
-T
--threads
	Show per-thread event counters
-C::
--comms=::
	Only consider symbols in these comms. CSV that understands

--field-separator=::

	Use a special separator character and don't pad with spaces, replacing
	all occurances of this separator in symbol names (and other output)
	with a '.' character, that thus it's the only non valid separator.

-g [type,min]::
--call-graph::
        Display callchains using type and min percent threshold.
	type can be either:
	- flat: single column, linear exposure of callchains.
	- graph: use a graph tree, displaying absolute overhead rates.
	- fractal: like graph, but displays relative rates. Each branch of
		 the tree is considered as a new profiled object. +
	Default: fractal,0.5.
