SYNOPSIS
 --------
 [verse]
+'perf config' [<file-option>] [section.name ...]
+or
 'perf config' [<file-option>] -l | --list
 
 DESCRIPTION
                children = true
                group = true
 
+To query the record mode of call graph, do
+
+       % perf config call-graph.record-mode
+
+If you want to know multiple config key/value pairs, you can do like
+
+       % perf config report.queue-size call-graph.order report.children
+
+To query the config value of sort order of call graph in user config file (i.e. `~/.perfconfig`), do
+
+       % perf config --user call-graph.sort-order
+
+To query the config value of buildid directory in system config file (i.e. `$(sysconf)/perfconfig`), do
+
+       % perf config --system buildid.dir
