 DESCRIPTION
 -----------
@@ -16,9 +17,14 @@ This command will show the events associated with the target, initially
 syscalls, but other system events like pagefaults, task lifetime events,
 scheduling events, etc.
 
-Initially this is a live mode only tool, but eventually will work with
-perf.data files like the other tools, allowing a detached 'record' from
-analysis phases.
+This is a live mode tool in addition to working with perf.data files like
+the other perf tools. Files can be generated using the 'perf record' command
+but the session needs to include the raw_syscalls events (-e 'raw_syscalls:*').
+Alernatively, the 'perf trace record' can be used as a shortcut to
+automatically include the raw_syscalls events when writing events to a file.
+
+The following options apply to perf trace; options to perf trace record are
+found in the perf record man page.
