[PATCH v16 RESEND 3/8] perf config: Add a option 'skel' to perf-config

From: Taeung Song
Date: Thu Feb 25 2016 - 10:07:39 EST


Produce an skeleton with the possible config variables so
that one could then use $EDITOR ~/.perfconfig or
$(sysconfdir)/perfconfigand go on setting the knobs.

For the syntax examples,

# perf config -k | --skel
Initialize the possible config variables on config file.
# perf config --skel > ~/.perfconfig
