In such cases you should show it in action, like I am doing now to test
this patch:

  [root@jouet ~]# perf probe --outdir=my_probes do_open
  kprobe_events file does not exist - please rebuild kernel with 
CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS.
    Error: Failed to add events.
  [root@jouet ~]# 

Oops, misleading error message, probably I need to first do a mkdir:

  [root@jouet ~]# mkdir my_probes
  [root@jouet ~]# perf probe --outdir=my_probes do_open
  Added new event:
    probe:do_open        (on do_open)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

          perf record -e probe:do_open -aR sleep 1

  [root@jouet ~]# ls -la my_probes
  total 12
  drwxr-xr-x.  2 root root 4096 Aug 24 09:47 .
  dr-xr-x---. 31 root root 4096 Aug 24 09:47 ..
  -rw-r--r--.  1 root root   30 Aug 24 09:47 kprobe_events
  [root@jouet ~]# cat my_probes/kprobe_events 
  p:probe/do_open _text+3481584
  [root@jouet ~]# 

Wouldn't it be better to call it some other name and imply --dry-run? "outdir"
seems too vague. Perhaps --definition and instead have it run like:

  # perf probe --definition do_open
  p:probe/do_open _text+3481584
  #

Then one could even use it to redirect it to a file, tee + file and even test 
it as:

  # perf probe --definition do_open > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
  #

For debugging:

  # perf probe --definition do_open | tee 
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events

:-)

I picked "--kprobes" first, but that would left out e.g. uprobes, then I
thought about --event, but also sounds vague, read
Documentation/trace/kprobetrace.txt and saw this bit:

 -------
Usage examples
--------------
To add a probe as a new event, write a new definition to kprobe_events
as below.

  echo 'p:myprobe do_sys_open dfd=%ax filename=%dx flags=%cx mode=+4($stack)' > 
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
 -------

So you used "definition" for that string, might as well be consistent and use
it here as well.

Also please fix the OPT_STRING string, it should start with a capital
letter:

        --max-probes <n>  Set how many probe points can be found for a probe.
        --no-inlines      Don't search inlined functions
        --outdir <directory>
                          path to offline output directory
        --range           Show variables location range in scope (with --vars 
only)


See how it stands out? All the others start with a capital letter.

I applied the first patch, totally trivial.
