  13 DESCRIPTION
  14 -----------
  15 This command reads the input file and displays an annotated version of the
  16 code. If the object file has debug symbols then the source code will be
  17 displayed alongside assembly code.
  18
  19 If there is no debug info in the object, then annotated assembly is displayed.

  27 -d::
  28 --dsos=<dso[,dso...]>::
  29         Only consider symbols in these dsos.
  30 -s::
  31 --symbol=<symbol>::
  32         Symbol to annotate.
  33
  34 -f::
  35 --force::
  36         Don't complain, do it.
  37
  38 -v::
  39 --verbose::
  40         Be more verbose. (Show symbol address, etc)
  41
  42 -D::
  43 --dump-raw-trace::
  44         Dump raw trace in ASCII.
  45
  46 -k::
  47 --vmlinux=<file>::
  48         vmlinux pathname.
  49
  50 -m::
  51 --modules::
  52         Load module symbols. WARNING: use only with -k and LIVE kernel.
  53
  54 -l::
  55 --print-line::
  56         Print matching source lines (may be slow).
  57
  58 -P::
  59 --full-paths::
  60         Don't shorten the displayed pathnames.
  61
  62 --stdio:: Use the stdio interface.
  63
  64 --tui:: Use the TUI interface Use of --tui requires a tty, if one is not
  65         present, as when piping to other commands, the stdio interface is
  66         used. This interfaces starts by centering on the line with more
  67         samples, TAB/UNTAB cycles through the lines with more samples.
  68
  69 -c::
  70 --cpu:: Only report samples for the list of CPUs provided. Multiple CPUs can
  71         be provided as a comma-separated list with no space: 0,1. Ranges of
  72         CPUs are specified with -: 0-2. Default is to report samples on all
  73         CPUs.
  74
  75 --asm-raw::
  76         Show raw instruction encoding of assembly instructions. They
  77         are displayed by default, disable with --no-asm-raw.
  78
  79 --source::
  80         Interleave source code with assembly code. Enabled by default,
  81         disable with --no-source.
