Subject: Re: [PATCH] perf list: Document missing options

Please describe how you tested this, i.e. what difference makes using
this option you are describing?

I figured it doesn't change anything, since it is the default, so to
test if this makes any change one needs to compare the output of:

   perf list --no-desc

with the output of what you just documented, i.e.:

   perf list --desc

comparing what you added with not using any option shows no difference.

Thus we need to add this "(default)" to your patch, to avoid confusion:

+-d::
+--desc::
+Print extra event descriptions. (default)

I'm doing this, please consider adding this to any further work in this
area.
