The --interval-clear option makes perf stat to clear the terminal at
each interval. But it doesn't need to clear the screen when it saves
to a file. Make it fail when it's enabled with the output options.
$ perf stat -I 1 --interval-clear -o myfile true
--interval-clear does not work with output
Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]
-o, --output <file> output file name
--log-fd <n> log output to fd, instead of stderr
--interval-clear clear screen in between new interval
