[PATCH 19/20] perf record: Add --output-dir option to store data in directory

From: Jiri Olsa
Date: Sun Feb 24 2019 - 14:08:09 EST


Adding --output-dir option to mimic -o and --dir options.
following commands do the same:

$ perf record -o perf.dir.data --dir ...
$ perf record --output-dir perf.dir.data ...

User cannot use both -o and output-dir together,
error is displayed.
