Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 8b9e74eb8a perf tools: Add --tui and --stdio to choose the UI
Relying just on ~/.perfconfig or rebuilding the tool disabling support
for the TUI is too cumbersome, so allow specifying which UI to use and
make the command line switch override whatever is in ~/.perfconfig.

================
NAME
----
perf-annotate - Read perf.data (created by perf record) and display annotated code
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'perf annotate' [-i <file> | --input=file] [symbol_name]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This command reads the input file and displays an annotated version of the
code. If the object file has debug symbols then the source code will be
displayed alongside assembly code.
If there is no debug info in the object, then annotated assembly is displayed.
OPTIONS
-------
-i::
--input=::
Input file name. (default: perf.data)
--stdio:: Use the stdio interface.
--tui:: Use the TUI interface Use of --tui requires a tty, if one is not
present, as when piping to other commands, the stdio interface is
used. This interfaces starts by centering on the line with more
samples, TAB/UNTAB cycles thru the lines with more samples.
