[PATCH] cyclictest: Remove duplicated description of cyclictest usage like -h.
We often utilize a various options with "#>cyclictest --help" command in the terminal environment.
When We run "#> cyclictest --help" command, We can show duplicated description about "-h" option
for latency histogram.
Unfortunatley, Some of the users is confusing because of two options about latency histogram.
[root@fedora9 invain]# ./cyclictest --help
cyclictest V 0.36
Usage:
cyclictest <options>
-a [NUM] --affinity run thread #N on processor #N, if possible
with NUM pin all threads to the processor NUM
-b USEC --breaktrace=USEC send break trace command when latency > USEC
-B --preemptirqs both preempt and irqsoff tracing (used with -b)
-c CLOCK --clock=CLOCK select clock
0 = CLOCK_MONOTONIC (default)
1 = CLOCK_REALTIME
-C --context context switch tracing (used with -b)
-d DIST --distance=DIST distance of thread intervals in us default=500
-E --event event tracing (used with -b)
-f --ftrace function trace (when -b is active)
-h H_MAX latency histogram size in us default 0 (off)
-i INTV --interval=INTV base interval of thread in us default=1000
................. [Middle Omission] ...................
-v --verbose output values on stdout for statistics
format: n:c:v n=tasknum c=count v=value in us
-D --duration=t specify a length for the test run
default is in seconds, but 'm', 'h', or 'd' maybe added
to modify value to minutes, hours or days
-h --histogram=US dump a latency histogram to stdout after the run
US is the max time to be be tracked in microseconds
For example,
-h H_MAX latency histogram size in us default 0 (off)
-h --histogram=US dump a latency histogram to stdout after the run
US is the max time to be be tracked in microseconds
As you see, We don't need "-h H_MAX . . . . . ." description.
So, I think that We have to remove old option about description of histogram function.
