CSV FORMAT
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
With -x, perf stat is able to output a not-quite-CSV format output
|
||||
Commas in the output are not put into "". To make it easy to parse
|
||||
it is recommended to use a different character like -x \;
|
||||
|
||||
The fields are in this order:
|
||||
|
||||
- optional usec time stamp in fractions of second (with -I xxx)
|
||||
- optional CPU, core, or socket identifier
|
||||
- optional number of logical CPUs aggregated
|
||||
- counter value
|
||||
- unit of the counter value or empty
|
||||
- event name
|
||||
- run time of counter
|
||||
- percentage of measurement time the counter was running
|
||||
- optional variance if multiple values are collected with -r
|
||||
- optional metric value
|
||||
- optional unit of metric
|
||||
|
||||
Additional metrics may be printed with all earlier fields being empty.
