perf-config(1)
==============
NAME
----
perf-config - Get and set variables in a configuration file.
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'perf config' -l | --list
DESCRIPTION
-----------
You can manage variables in a configuration file with this command.
OPTIONS
-------
-l::
--list::
Show current config variables, name and value, for all sections.
CONFIGURATION FILE
------------------
The perf configuration file contains many variables to change various
aspects of each of its tools, including output, disk usage, etc.
The '$HOME/.perfconfig' file is used to store a per-user configuration.
The file '$(sysconfdir)/perfconfig' can be used to
store a system-wide default configuration.
Syntax
~~~~~~
The file consist of sections. A section starts with its name
surrounded by square brackets and continues till the next section
begins. Each variable must be in a section, and have the form
'name = value', for example:
[section]
name1 = value1
name2 = value2
Section names are case sensitive and can contain any characters except
newline (double quote `"` and backslash have to be escaped as `\"` and `\\`,
respectively). Section headers can't span multiple lines.
Example
~~~~~~~
Given a $HOME/.perfconfig like this:
#
# This is the config file, and
# a '#' and ';' character indicates a comment
#
[colors]
# Color variables
top = red, default
medium = green, default
normal = lightgray, default
selected = white, lightgray

[buildid]
# Default, disable using /dev/null
