+The script generated by -g option simply prints a line for each
event found in the trace stream i.e. it basically just dumps the event
and its parameter values to stdout. The print_header() function is
simply a utility function used for that purpose. Let's rename the

The 'report' script is also a shell script with the same base name as
As an example, the following perf record command can be used to record
all sched_wakeup events in the system:
- # perf record -c 1 -f -a -M -R -e sched:sched_wakeup
+ # perf record -a -e sched:sched_wakeup
Traces meant to be processed using a script should be recorded with
-the above options: -c 1 says to sample every event, -a to enable
-system-wide collection, -M to multiplex the output, and -R to collect
-raw samples.
+the above option: -a to enable system-wide collection.
The format file for the sched_wakep event defines the following fields
(see /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup/format):
flag_str(event_name, field_name, field_value) - returns the string represention corresponding to field_value for the flag field field_name of event event_name
symbol_str(event_name, field_name, field_value) - returns the string represention corresponding to field_value for the symbolic field field_name of event event_name

i.e. with autovivifying hashes, you can assign nested hash values
