From a5f4a6932ec2e1a53642e97a1be64bc7b169942f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Namhyung Kim Date: Sun, 25 Oct 2015 00:49:24 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: Improve ambiguous option help message 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 [] After: $ perf report --show Error: Ambiguous option: show (could be --show-total-period or --show-ref-call-graph) Usage: perf report [] -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 Acked-by: Ingo Molnar Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: David Ahern Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1445701767-12731-1-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo --- 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; }
