So, "source.c:100-120" shows lines between 100th to l20th in source.c file. And "func:10+20" shows 20 lines from 10th line of func function.
EXAMPLES
--------
Display which lines in schedule() can be probed:
./perf probe --line schedule
Add a probe on schedule() function 12th line with recording cpu local variable:
./perf probe schedule:12 cpu

./perf probe --add='schedule:12 cpu'
this will add one or more probes which has the name start with "schedule".
Delete all probes on schedule().
./perf probe --del='schedule*'
