Ah, okay.

How about this:


-c::
--comms=::
	Only consider symbols in these comms. CSV that understands
	file://filename entries.  This option will affect the percentage of
	overhead column.  See --percentage for more info.
-d::
--dsos=::
	Only consider symbols in these dsos. CSV that understands
	file://filename entries.  This option will affect the percentage of
	overhead column.  See --percentage for more info.
-S::
--symbols=::
	Only consider these symbols. CSV that understands
	file://filename entries.  This option will affect the percentage of
	overhead column.  See --percentage for more info.

--percentage::
	Determine how to display the overhead percentage of filtered entries.
	Filters can be applied by --comms, --dsos and/or --symbols options and
	Zoom operations on the TUI (thread, dso, etc).

	"relative" means it's relative to filtered entries only so that the
	sum of shown entries will be always 100%.  "absolute" means it retains
	original value before and after the filter applied.


Thanks,
Namhyung
