perf-stat(1)
============
NAME
----
perf-stat - Run a command and gather performance counter statistics
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'perf stat' [-e <EVENT> | --event=EVENT] [-S] [-a] <command>
'perf stat' [-e <EVENT> | --event=EVENT] [-S] [-a] -- <command> [<options>]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This command runs a command and gathers performance counter statistics
from it.
OPTIONS
-------
<command>...::
Any command you can specify in a shell.
-e::
--event=::
Select the PMU event. Selection can be a symbolic event name
(use 'perf list' to list all events) or a raw PMU
event (eventsel+umask) in the form of rNNN where NNN is a
hexadecimal event descriptor.
-i::
--no-inherit::
child tasks do not inherit counters
-p::
--pid=<pid>::
stat events on existing pid
-a::
system-wide collection
-c::
scale counter values
-B::
print large numbers with thousands' separators according to locale
-C::
--cpu=::
Count only on the list of cpus provided. Multiple CPUs can be provided as a
comma-sperated list with no space: 0,1. Ranges of CPUs are specified with -: 0-2.
In per-thread mode, this option is ignored. The -a option is still necessary
to activate system-wide monitoring. Default is to count on all CPUs.

--------
$ perf stat -- make -j
