6 perf-config - Get and set variables in a configuration file.
11 'perf config' -l | --list
15 You can manage variables in a configuration file with this command.
22 Show current config variables, name and value, for all sections.
27 The perf configuration file contains many variables to change various
28 aspects of each of its tools, including output, disk usage, etc.
29 The '$HOME/.perfconfig' file is used to store a per-user configuration.
30 The file '$(sysconfdir)/perfconfig' can be used to
31 store a system-wide default configuration.
36 The file consist of sections. A section starts with its name
37 surrounded by square brackets and continues till the next section
38 begins. Each variable must be in a section, and have the form
39 'name = value', for example:
45 Section names are case sensitive and can contain any characters except
46 newline (double quote `"` and backslash have to be escaped as `\"` and `\\`,
47 respectively). Section headers can't span multiple lines.
52 Given a $HOME/.perfconfig like this:
55 # This is the config file, and
56 # a '#' and ';' character indicates a comment
62 medium = green, default
