 --call-graph::
-        Display call chains using type, min percent threshold and order.
-        type can be either:
-        - flat: single column, linear exposure of call chains.
-        - graph: use a graph tree, displaying absolute overhead rates.
-        - fractal: like graph, but displays relative rates. Each branch of
-                 the tree is considered as a new profiled object.
-
-        order can be either:
-        - callee: callee based call graph.
-        - caller: inverted caller based call graph.
