We can do with a single dialog that takes both, pids and guest names. Note that we keep both interactive commands, 'p' and 'g' for now, to avoid confusion among users used to a specific key. While at it, we improve on some minor glitches regarding curses usage, e.g. cursor still visible when not supposed to be.

NAME

|
----
|
|
kvm_stat - Report KVM kernel module event counters
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'kvm_stat' [OPTION]...
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
kvm_stat prints counts of KVM kernel module trace events. These events signify
|
|
state transitions such as guest mode entry and exit.
|
|
|
|
This tool is useful for observing guest behavior from the host perspective.
|
|
Often conclusions about performance or buggy behavior can be drawn from the
|
|
output.
|
|
While running in regular mode, use any of the keys listed in section
|
|
'Interactive Commands' below.
|
|
Use batch and logging modes for scripting purposes.
|
|
|
|
The set of KVM kernel module trace events may be specific to the kernel version
|
|
or architecture. It is best to check the KVM kernel module source code for the
|
|
meaning of events.
