13DESCRIPTION
14-----------
15This command will show the events associated with the target, initially
16syscalls, but other system events like pagefaults, task lifetime events,
17scheduling events, etc.
18
19Initially this is a live mode only tool, but eventually will work with
20perf.data files like the other tools, allowing a detached 'record' from
21analysis phases.
