From 8b9e74eb8af808807192d16b76565c27154ae7ed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Date: Sat, 21 Aug 2010 10:38:16 -0300 Subject: perf tools: Add --tui and --stdio to choose the UI Relying just on ~/.perfconfig or rebuilding the tool disabling support for the TUI is too cumbersome, so allow specifying which UI to use and make the command line switch override whatever is in ~/.perfconfig.
