perf stat: Clear screen only if output file is a tty
The --interval-clear option makes perf stat to clear the terminal at each interval. But it doesn't need to clear the screen when it saves to a file. Make it fail when it's enabled with the output options. $ perf stat -I 1 --interval-clear -o myfile true --interval-clear does not work with output Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>] -o, --output <file> output file name --log-fd <n> log output to fd, instead of stderr --interval-clear clear screen in between new interval Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Athira Jajeev <atrajeev@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: James Clark <james.clark@arm.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Xing Zhengjun <zhengjun.xing@linux.intel.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221114230227.1255976-2-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
