+ Multiple ranges can be separated by spaces, which requires the argument
+ to be quoted e.g. --time "1234.567,1234.789 1235,"
+ Time string is'a1.b1,c1.d1:a2.b2,c2.d2'. Use ':' to separate timestamps
+ for different perf.data files.
For example, we get the timestamp information from 'perf script'.
