.SH "NAME"
trace-cmd-hist \- show histogram of events in trace\&.dat file
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
\fBtrace\-cmd hist\fR [\fIOPTIONS\fR][\fIinput\-file\fR]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
The trace\-cmd(1) hist displays a histogram form from the trace\&.dat file\&. Instead of showing the events as they were ordered, it creates a histogram that can be displayed per task or for all tasks where the most common events appear first\&. It uses the function tracer and call stacks that it finds to try to put together a call graph of the events\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\fB\-i\fR \fIinput\-file\fR
.RS 4
By default, trace\-cmd hist will read the file
\fItrace\&.dat\fR\&. But the
\fB\-i\fR
option open up the given
\fIinput\-file\fR
instead\&. Note, the input file may also be specified as the last item on the command line\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-P\fR
.RS 4
To compact all events and show the call graphs by ignoring tasks and different PIDs, add the
\fB\-P\fR
to do so\&. Instead of showing the task name, it will group all chains together and show "<all pids>"\&.
