Each of the assignments indicates a value to be assigned to a
particular set of bits (as defined by the format file
corresponding to the <term>) in the perf_event structure passed
to the perf_open syscall.
+ In the case of the last example, a value replacing "?" would

+ This is referred to as "event parameterization". Event
+ parameters have the format 'param=?'.
