Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2018 21:20:39 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180623012105.432739445@goodmis.org> (raw)

Fix typos, inconsistencies in using quotes, incorrect section number,
etc. in the trace histogram documentation.

 Multiple variables can be assigned at the same time.  The below would
 result in both ts0 and b being created as variables, with both
 common_timestamp and field1 additionally being summed as values:

 following their use.  The command below behaves identically to the
 command above:

+  # echo 'hist:keys=pid:ts0=common_timestamp,b=field1:vals=$ts0,$b ...' >> \

 Any number of variables not bound to a 'vals=' prefix can also be
 assigned by simply separating them with colons.  Below is the same
 thing but without the values being summed in the histogram:
 
-  # echo 'hist:keys=pid:ts0=common_timestamp:b=field1 ... >> event/trigger
+  # echo 'hist:keys=pid:ts0=common_timestamp:b=field1 ...' >> event/trigger
 
 Variables set as above can be referenced and used in expressions on
 another event.
 
 For example, here's how a latency can be calculated:
 
-  # echo 'hist:keys=pid,prio:ts0=common_timestamp ... >> event1/trigger
-  # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:wakeup_lat=common_timestamp-$ts0 ... >> event2/trigger
+  # echo 'hist:keys=pid,prio:ts0=common_timestamp ...' >> event1/trigger
+  # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:wakeup_lat=common_timestamp-$ts0 ...' >> event2/trigger
