12 The default is all events i.e. the same as --itrace=ibxe
13
14 In addition, the period (default 100000) for instructions events
15 can be specified in units of:
16
17 i instructions
18 t ticks
19 ms milliseconds
20 us microseconds
21 ns nanoseconds (default)
22
23 Also the call chain size (default 16, max. 1024) for instructions or
24 transactions events can be specified.

26 Also the number of last branch entries (default 64, max. 1024) for
27 instructions or transactions events can be specified.

29 It is also possible to skip events generated (instructions, branches, transactions)
30 at the beginning. This is useful to ignore initialization code.

32 --itrace=i0nss1000000
33
34 skips the first million instructions.
