How to use this on a binary with arguments?

[RokeJulianLockhart]

How do I use

hotspot/README.md

Line 151 in 35871ad

perf record --call-graph dwarf <your application>

with an application which has arguments? Can I just quote-enclose it as my shell defines? I ask because a basic test doesn't appear to work:

RokeJulianLockhart@sayw4i:~$ perf record --call-graph dwarf 'echo yes'
Failed to collect 'cycles:Pu' for the 'echo yes' workload: No such file or directory

Remove the quotes, just do:

perf record --call-graph dwarf echo yes this works

If you want to make it more explicit, add two -- inbetween:

perf record --call-graph dwarf -- echo yes this works
