From: Namhyung Kim <namhy...@kernel.org> Currently if an option name is ambiguous it only prints first two matched option names but no help. It'd be better it could show all possible names and help messages too.
Before: $ perf report --show Error: Ambiguous option: show (could be --show-total-period or --show-ref-call-graph) Usage: perf report [<options>] After: $ perf report --show Error: Ambiguous option: show (could be --show-total-period or --show-ref-call-graph) Usage: perf report [<options>] -n, --show-nr-samples Show a column with the number of samples --showcpuutilization Show sample percentage for different cpu modes -I, --show-info Display extended information about perf.data file --show-total-period Show a column with the sum of periods --show-ref-call-graph Show callgraph from reference event Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhy...@kernel.org> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mi...@kernel.org> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <a...@redhat.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsah...@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jo...@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijls...@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1445701767-12731-1-git-send-email-namhy...@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <a...@redhat.com> --- tools/perf/util/parse-options.c | 17 ++++++++--------- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/tools/perf/util/parse-options.c b/tools/perf/util/parse-options.c index 22c2806bda98..b8d98229a8af 100644 --- a/tools/perf/util/parse-options.c +++ b/tools/perf/util/parse-options.c @@ -770,24 +770,23 @@ int parse_options_usage(const char * const *usagestr, opt: for ( ; opts->type != OPTION_END; opts++) { if (short_opt) { - if (opts->short_name == *optstr) + if (opts->short_name == *optstr) { + print_option_help(opts, 0); break; + } continue; } if (opts->long_name == NULL) continue; - if (!prefixcmp(optstr, opts->long_name)) - break; - if (!prefixcmp(optstr, "no-") && - !prefixcmp(optstr + 3, opts->long_name)) - break; + if (!prefixcmp(opts->long_name, optstr)) + print_option_help(opts, 0); + if (!prefixcmp("no-", optstr) && + !prefixcmp(opts->long_name, optstr + 3)) + print_option_help(opts, 0); } - if (opts->type != OPTION_END) - print_option_help(opts, 0); - return PARSE_OPT_HELP; } -- 2.1.0 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
