--timestamp-filename
Append timestamp to output file name.
---switch-output::
+--switch-output[=mode]::
Generate multiple perf.data files, timestamp prefixed, switching to a new one
-when receiving a SIGUSR2.
+based on 'mode' value:
+ "signal" - when receiving a SIGUSR2 (default value) or
+ <size> - when reaching the size threshold, size is expected to
+ be a number with appended unit character - B/K/M/G
+ <time> - when reaching the time threshold, size is expected to
+ be a number with appended unit character - s/m/h/d
+
+ Note: the precision of the size threshold hugely depends
+ on your configuration - the number and size of your ring
+ buffers (-m). It is generally more precise for higher sizes
+ (like >5M), for lower values expect different sizes.
A possible use case is to, given an external event, slice the perf.data file
that gets then processed, possibly via a perf script, to decide if that
