  • Article

Displays stack-walking options. Stack-walking flags can be specified either directly on the command line or in a file.

xperf -on base -stackwalk ThreadCreate+ProcessCreate
  • Or -
xperf -on base -stackwalk ThreadCreate -stackwalk ProcessCreate
  • Or -
xperf -on base -stackwalk @stack.txt
  • Or -

Remarks

Custom stack walking flags can be specified in format: 0xmmnn, where mm is event group and nn is event type.

The file can contain empty lines or comments that are prefixed by an exclamation mark (!).
