--W::
 --weight::
 Enable weightened sampling. An additional weight is recorded per sample and can be
 displayed with the weight and local_weight sort keys.  This currently works for TSX
 abort events and some memory events in precise mode on modern Intel CPUs.
 
+--transaction::
+Record transaction flags for transaction related events.
