This option should be used together with "-I" option.
example: 'perf stat -I 1000 --interval-count 2 -e cycles -a'
+--interval-clear::
+Clear the screen before next interval.

--timeout msecs::
Stop the 'perf stat' session and print count deltas after N milliseconds (minimum: 10 ms).
This option is not supported with the "-I" option.
