Please keep space for a subcommand space as most other perf
subcommands do, i.e. make it something like:
perf bpf add sample_bpf.o
or:
perf bpf run sample_bpf.o
or:
perf bpf load sample_bpf.o
So that future subcommands can be added:
perf bpf list
perf bpf del <...>
perf bpf enable <...>
perf bpf disable <...>
perf bpf help
and 'perf bpf' should probably display the help page by default, so if
curious perf users stumble into the new subcommand, they get a basic
idea about what it's all about.
I.e. you should think about the high level subcommand space right now,
and pick proper names - because this is going to determine the future
usability and the success of the tool to a large degree.
Thanks,
Ingo
