/*
 * perf stat:  /usr/bin/time -alike performance counter statistics utility

          It summarizes the counter events of all tasks (and child tasks),
          covering all CPUs that the command (or workload) executes on.
          It only counts the per-task events of the workload started,
          independent of how many other tasks run on those CPUs.

   Sample output:

   $ perf stat -e 1 -e 3 -e 5 ls -lR /usr/include/ >/dev/null

   Performance counter stats for 'ls':

           163516953 instructions
                2295 cache-misses
             2855182 branch-misses
