--show-nr-samples::
Show the number of samples for each symbol
-T::
--threads::

-g [type,min]::
--call-graph::
Display callchains using type and min percent threshold.
type can be either:
- flat: single column, linear exposure of callchains.
- graph: use a graph tree, displaying absolute overhead rates.
- fractal: like graph, but displays relative rates. Each branch of
the tree is considered as a new profiled object. +
