The \fIperf ftrace\fR command is a simple wrapper of kernel\(cqs ftrace functionality\&. It only supports single thread tracing currently and just reads trace_pipe in text and then write it to stdout\&.

The following options apply to perf ftrace\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"

.RS 4
Tracer to use: function_graph or function\&.
.RE
