DESCRIPTION
|
|

|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
-l::
|
|
--list::
|
|
Show current config variables, name and value, for all sections.
|
|
|
|
CONFIGURATION FILE
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
The perf configuration file contains many variables to change various
|
|
aspects of each of its tools, including output, disk usage, etc.
|
|
The '$HOME/.perfconfig' file is used to store a per-user configuration.
|
|
The file '$(sysconfdir)/perfconfig' can be used to
|
|
store a system-wide default configuration.
|
|
|
|
Syntax
|
|
~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The file consist of sections. A section starts with its name
|
|
surrounded by square brackets and continues till the next section
|
|
begins. Each variable must be in a section, and have the form
|
|
'name = value', for example:
|
|
|
|
[section]
|
|
name1 = value1
|
|
name2 = value2
|
|
|
|
Section names are case sensitive and can contain any characters except
|
|
newline (double quote `"` and backslash have to be escaped as `\"` and `\\`,
|
|
respectively). Section headers can't span multiple lines.
|
|
|
|
