12DESCRIPTION
13-----------
14
15With no options and no COMMAND given, the synopsis of the 'perf'
16command and a list of the most commonly used perf commands are printed
17on the standard output.
18
19If the option '--all' or '-a' is given, then all available commands are
20printed on the standard output.
21
22If a perf command is named, a manual page for that command is brought
23up. The 'man' program is used by default for this purpose, but this
24can be overridden by other options or configuration variables.
25
26Note that `perf --help ...` is identical to `perf help ...` because the
27former is internally converted into the latter.
