From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]> 'perf report --stdio' will colorize entries with most hits and possibly some other aspects of its output, but those colors gets suppressed if we redirect the output to a non-tty, allow keeping the colors by adding a new option, --stdio-color, now this use case will also output escape sequences for colors:
