+NAME
+----
+perf-buildid-list - List the buildids in a perf.data file
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'perf buildid-list <options>'
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This command displays the buildids found in a perf.data file, so that other
+tools can be used to fetch packages with matching symbol tables for use by
+perf report.
+
+It can also be used to show the build id of the running kernel or in an ELF
+file using -i/--input.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+-H::
+--with-hits::
+ Show only DSOs with hits.
+-i::
+--input=::
+ Input file name. (default: perf.data unless stdin is a fifo)
+-f::
+--force::
+ Don't do ownership validation.
+-k::
+--kernel::
+ Show running kernel build id.
+-v::
+--verbose::
+ Be more verbose.
