SYNOPSIS

perf config -l | --list

DESCRIPTION

You can manage variables in a configuration file with this command.

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.

Example

Given a $HOME/.perfconfig like this:

# # This is the config file, and # a # and ; character indicates a comment #

[colors]
        # Color variables
        top = red, default
        medium = green, default
        normal = lightgray, default
        selected = white, lightgray
        code = blue, default
        addr = magenta, default
        root = white, blue

[tui]
        # Defaults if linked with libslang
        report = on
        annotate = on
        top = on

[buildid]
        # Default, disable using /dev/null
        dir = ~/.debug

[annotate]
        # Defaults
        hide_src_code = false
        use_offset = true
        jump_arrows = true
        show_nr_jumps = false

[help]
        # Format can be man, info, web or html
        format = man
        autocorrect = 0

[ui]
        show-headers = true

[call-graph]
        # fp (framepointer), dwarf
        record-mode = fp
        print-type = graph
        order = caller
        sort-key = function
