--asm-raw::
Show raw instruction encoding of assembly instructions.
--G [type,min,order]::
+-G::
+ Enables call-graph (stack chain/backtrace) recording.
+
--call-graph::
- Display call chains using type, min percent threshold and order.
- type can be either:
- - flat: single column, linear exposure of call chains.
- - graph: use a graph tree, displaying absolute overhead rates.
- - fractal: like graph, but displays relative rates. Each branch of
- the tree is considered as a new profiled object.
-
- order can be either:
- - callee: callee based call graph.
- - caller: inverted caller based call graph.
-
- Default: fractal,0.5,callee.

+--ignore-callees=<regex>::
+ Ignore callees of the function(s) matching the given regex.

+ function into one place in the call-graph tree.
--percent-limit::
Do not show entries which have an overhead under that percent.
