Xperf actions are trace processing components that collate event information to produce text reports. Actions produce summarized reports that are specific to a set of events such as registry accesses, context switches, file accesses, or system configuration.
All actions are invoked using the following command-line pattern:
xperf -i input.etl -o output.txt -a <action_name> [action_parameters]
Where input.etl is the name of the trace file, output.txt is the name of the report file, and <action_name> is the name of the action. The action name is always preceded by the -a command-line switch. The action name can be followed by one or more action-specific parameters.
