| DESCRIPTION |
| ----------- |
| You can analyze various lock behaviours |
| and statistics with this 'perf lock' command. |
| |
| 'perf lock record <command>' records lock events |
| between start and end <command>. And this command |
| produces the file "perf.data" which contains tracing |
| results of lock events. |
| |
| 'perf lock report' reports statistical data. |
| |
| 'perf lock script' shows raw lock events. |
| |
| 'perf lock info' shows metadata like threads or addresses |
| of lock instances. |
