Okay, I see.

I think it's better to fix redirect_to_stderr and debug_peo_args in the
same way (because they're similar):

Yes, places that "if (verbose)" also have problems, I'll submit a patch
to change them to "if (verbose > 0)"

In addition, I found another problem, perf lock/stat/probe does not call
the perf_quiet_option function when quiet is true.

Thanks,
