Subject: Re: [PATCH 3/3] perf tools: Add evlist/evlist-verbose control
commands

Can't we pass args to such commands?
Then its just one event, i.e. "evlist", and -v can be passed to it.
i.e.:
The commands would be:
evlist
That produces:
terminal 2:
# echo evlist > control
terminal 1:
# perf record --control=fifo:control,ack -e 'sched:*'
...
sched:sched_kthread_stop
sched:sched_kthread_stop_ret
sched:sched_waking
And 'evlist -v', that produces:
terminal 2:
# echo "evlist -v" > control
terminal 1:
...
sched:sched_kthread_stop: type: 2, size: 120, config: 0x145, \
{ sample_period, sample_freq }: 1, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CPU \
|PERIOD|RAW|IDENTIFIER, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: \
1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1
sched:sched_kthread_stop_ret: type: 2, size: 120, config: 0x144 \
, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 1, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CPU \
|PERIOD|RAW|IDENTIFIER, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, \
sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1
...
I think we could even change things such that we pass a file descriptor
for cmd_evlist to use, passing the argv received from the control file,
etc.
With this in place we could reuse more stuff and allow using this
control file to obtain information such as 'perf report --header-only',
etc.
echo "report --header-only" > control would get us the same thing as
'perf report --header-only' for an existing perf.data file:

I.e. users would discover that using this control file is as easy as
working with perf.data files or with the pipe mode, all the three ways
of interacting with perf would use the same command interface arguments.
