PERF-HELP(1)

💖 PERF-HELP(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for perf-help — the little command that displays help information about perf. It’s giving “ask the group chat before you panic” energy, and honestly? Iconic.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

perf help [-a|--all] [COMMAND]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here’s the vibe check: with no options and no COMMAND given, the synopsis of the perf command and a list of the most commonly used perf commands are printed on the standard output. Lowkey useful, highkey essential.

If the option --all or -a is given, then all available commands are printed on the standard output. Not just the popular ones — every single one, periodt.

If a perf command is named, a manual page for that command is brought up. The man program is used by default for this purpose, but — plot twist — this can be overridden by other options or configuration variables.

Also important, bestie: perf --help ... is identical to perf help ... because the former is internally converted into the latter. Same energy, fr fr. 💅

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -a, --all — prints all the available commands on the standard output. This option supersedes any other option. It’s giving main character energy; it wins. 👑
