+NAME
+----
+perf-config - Get and set variables in a configuration file.
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'perf config' -l | --list
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+You can manage variables in a configuration file with this command.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+
+-l::
+--list::
+	Show current config variables, name and value, for all sections.
+
+CONFIGURATION FILE
+------------------
+
+The perf configuration file contains many variables to change various
+aspects of each of its tools, including output, disk usage, etc.
+The '$HOME/.perfconfig' file is used to store a per-user configuration.
+The file '$(sysconfdir)/perfconfig' can be used to
+store a system-wide default configuration.
+
+Syntax
+~~~~~~
+
+The file consist of sections. A section starts with its name
+surrounded by square brackets and continues till the next section
+begins. Each variable must be in a section, and have the form
+'name = value', for example:
+
+	[section]
+		name1 = value1
+		name2 = value2
+
+Section names are case sensitive and can contain any characters except
+newline (double quote `"` and backslash have to be escaped as `\"` and `\\`,
+respectively). Section headers can't span multiple lines.
+
+Example
+~~~~~~~
+
+Given a $HOME/.perfconfig like this:
+
+#
+# This is the config file, and
+# a '#' and ';' character indicates a comment
+#
+
+[colors]
+	# Color variables
+	top = red, default
+	medium = green, default
+	normal = lightgray, default
+	selected = white, lightgray
+	code = blue, default
+	addr = magenta, default
+	root = white, blue
+
+[tui]
+	# Defaults if linked with libslang
+	report = on
+	annotate = on
+	top = on
+
+[buildid]
+	# Default, disable using /dev/null
+	dir = ~/.debug
+
+[annotate]
+	# Defaults
+	hide_src_code = false
+	use_offset = true
+	jump_arrows = true
+	show_nr_jumps = false
+
+[help]
+	# Format can be man, info, web or html
+	format = man
+	autocorrect = 0
+
+[ui]
+	show-headers = true
+
+[call-graph]
+	# fp (framepointer), dwarf
+	record-mode = fp
+	print-type = graph
+	order = caller
+	sort-key = function
