13514f1c67SArnaldo Carvalho de MeloDESCRIPTION
14514f1c67SArnaldo Carvalho de Melo-----------
15514f1c67SArnaldo Carvalho de MeloThis command will show the events associated with the target, initially
16514f1c67SArnaldo Carvalho de Melosyscalls, but other system events like pagefaults, task lifetime events,
17514f1c67SArnaldo Carvalho de Meloscheduling events, etc.
18514f1c67SArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
19514f1c67SArnaldo Carvalho de MeloInitially this is a live mode only tool, but eventually will work with
20514f1c67SArnaldo Carvalho de Meloperf.data files like the other tools, allowing a detached 'record' from
21514f1c67SArnaldo Carvalho de Meloanalysis phases.
