Dan Horák 9710f29770 man: Use CR for constant width font
With version 1.23 groff/troff disabled the non-portable font CW and
started to complain about a missing CW font when previewing some of the
man pages, with messages like

$ man --warnings cpumf/man/pai.8 > /dev/null
troff:<standard input>:244: warning: cannot select font 'CW'

Use CR to replace CW.

Closes: https://github.com/ibm-s390-linux/s390-tools/pull/187

.SH DESCRIPTION
The \*c command extracts complete counter sets from the CPU
Measurement Facilities for Linux on Z.
Counter sets can be specified and extracted for individual CPUs.
The output is a comma-separated values file.
Each line starts with a timestamp and the CPU number,
followed by the extracted counter values.
.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.BR \-h ", " \-\-help
Displays help information, then exits.
.
.TP
.BR \-v ", " \-\-version
Displays version information, then exits.
.
.TP
.BR \-a ", " \-\-allcpu
Displays counter values from each CPU.
The default is a total summary line of all counters from all CPUs.
.
.TP
.BR \-d ", " \-\-delta
Displays counter values in form of deltas.
Each counter value shows the increment to the previous output line.
Without this flag the total value of each counter is displayed.
See Examples.
.
.TP
.BR \-i ", " \-\-interval \fI\ seconds\fP
Specifies a time interval, in seconds,
that the command waits between read operations.
The default is 60 seconds.
.
.TP
.BR \-l ", " \-\-loop \fI\ count\fP
Performs the specified number of read operations.
.
.TP
.BR \-H ", " \-\-hide
Do not display values of undefined counters.
.
.TP
.BR \-s ", " \-\-short
Displays counter names as short names in the heading.
A short name consists of
a letter for the counter set followed by a number.
For example,
this flag displays counter number 0 in the basic counter
set as
.B B0
instead of
.BR Cycles .
Valid counter set letters are:
.RS
.IP B
Basic counter set
.IP P
Problem state counter set
.IP C
Crypto counter set
.IP E
Extended counter set
.IP M
MT-Diagnostic counter set
.IP U
Undefined counter.
.RE
.
.TP
.BR \-t ", " \-\-time
Specifies the runtime as an integer in days,
hours, minutes or seconds.
This option can be specified multiple times:
the runtime sums up.
Specify time as an integer followed by one of the letters
.RS
.IP d
Specifies the runtime in days.
.IP h
Specifies the runtime in hours.
.IP m
Specifies the runtime in minutes.
.IP s
Specifies the runtime in seconds.
This is the default when no letter is given.
.RE
.
.TP
.BR \-x ", " \-\-hex
Displays counter values as hexadecimal values.
.
.TP
.BR \-X ", " \-\-hex0x
Displays counter values as hexadecimal values with a leading 0x prefix.
.
.TP
.BR \-q
Apply quoting to every output element, regardless of content or format.
.
.TP
.BR \-f ", " \-\-format \fI\ format\fP
Retrieve output in one of the following formats:
JSON, CSV, JSON-SEQ or PAIRS.
If no format is specified, the output defaults to CSV.
.
.SS JSON Output Structure
The JSON output contains two top-level objects:
.B "meta"
and
.B "lshwc"
.TP
.B meta
General metadata such as API version, host, and timestamp.
.TP
.B lshwc
Measurement data and configuration.
.RS
.IP \fBcpumcf info\fP
CPU Measurement Counter Facility information.
.IP \fBmeasurements\fP
An array of objects, each representing a CPU or "total". 
Each object includes:
.RS
.IP \fBcpu\fP
CPU identifier, such as 0, 1 or "delta" or "total".
.IP \fBdate_time\fP
Timestamp in ISO 8601 format.
.IP \fBtime_epoch\fP
The number of seconds since the epoch: 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC.
.IP \fBcounters\fP
An array of counter objects, each containing \fBname\fP (if available), \fBid\fP,
and \fBvalue\fP.
.RE
.RE
.
.TP
\fR[\fIcpulist\fR][:\fIsets\fR]\fP
A comma-separated list of CPUs.
Each CPU can optionally be followed by characters that specify the counter set.
See below for details.
.
.SS "CPU List and counter-set specification"
In the comma-separated list of CPUs,
each element is a CPU or a range of CPUs.
By default, \*c lists all CPUs.
.P
The CPU list can be followed by an optional list
of characters that specify the counter sets to be extracted,
preceded by a colon.
The characters can be upper or lower case.
By default, all counter sets are used.
.IP b
Include the basic counter set.
.IP c
Include the crypto counter set.
.IP e
Include the extended counter set.
.IP m
Include the MT_Diagnostic counter set.
.IP p|u
Include the problem counter set.
.IP a
Include all known counter sets (default).
.SH "EXAMPLES"
The first example enables the basic and problem counter sets on CPU 0 and 1.
Two read operations are performed and a summary line is printed for each
read operation.
