As gputop has lots of metrics, its impossible to figure out what are available metrics. Unfortunately "-help" is not providing this info.
localhost ~ # gputop-wrapper -h
Usage: gputop-wrapper [options] <program> [program args...]
-h, --help Display this help
-H, --host <hostname> Host to connect to
-p, --port <port> Port on which the server is running
-P, --period <period> Accumulation period (in seconds, floating point)
-m, --metric <name> Metric set to use
(prints out a list of metric sets if missing)
-M, --max Outputs maximum counter values
(first line after units)
-c, --columns <col0,col1,..> Columns to print out
(prints out a lists of counters if missing)
-n, --no-human-units Disable human readable units (for machine readable output)
-N, --no-headers Disable headers (for machine readable output)
-O, --child-output <filename> Outputs the child's standard output to filename
-o, --output <filename> Outputs gputop-wrapper's data to filename
(disables human readable units)
-w, --max-inactive-time <time> Maximum time of inactivity before killing
the child process (in seconds, floating point)
localhost ~ # gputop-wrapper -m
gputop-wrapper: option requires an argument -- 'm'
Unrecognized option: 63
localhost ~ # gputop-wrapper --m
gputop-wrapper: option '--m' is ambiguous; possibilities: '--metric' '--max-inactive-time' '--max'
Unrecognized option: 63
localhost ~ # gputop-wrapper --metric
gputop-wrapper: option '--metric' requires an argument
Unrecognized option: 63
Example mentioned above, -m suppose to prints out list of metrics sets if missing, but in this case its not.
Without help showing any information, this is quite cumbersome to figure out what are available options for different metrics.

Maybe this isn't obvious but just run :
gputop-wrapper
It'll print out all the available metrics.
I'll add a -m list.

And there is also a confusing mistake in the --help print out...
