perf-check(1)
===============

NAME
----
perf-check - check if features are present in perf

SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'perf check' [<options>]
'perf check' {feature <feature_list>} [<options>]

DESCRIPTION
-----------
With no subcommands given, 'perf check' command just prints the command
usage on the standard output.

If the subcommand 'feature' is used, then status of feature is printed
on the standard output (unless '-q' is also passed), ie. whether it is
compiled-in/built-in or not.
Also, 'perf check feature' returns with exit status 0 if the feature
is built-in, otherwise returns with exit status 1.

SUBCOMMANDS
-----------

feature::

        Print whether feature(s) is compiled-in or not, and also returns with an
        exit status of 0, if passed feature(s) are compiled-in, else 1.

        It expects a feature list as an argument. There can be a single feature
        name/macro, or multiple features can also be passed as a comma-separated
        list, in which case the exit status will be 0 only if all of the passed
        features are compiled-in.

        The feature names/macros are case-insensitive.

        Example Usage:
                perf check feature libtraceevent
                perf check feature HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT
                perf check feature libtraceevent,bpf

OPTIONS
-------
-q::
--quiet::
        Do not print any messages or warnings

        This can be used along with subcommands such as 'perf check feature'
        to hide unnecessary output in test scripts, eg.
        'perf check feature --quiet libtraceevent'
