18 This program parses the output from a set of printk message lines which
19 have time data prefixed because the CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME option is set, or
20 the kernel command line option "time" is specified. When run with no
21 options, the time information is converted to show the time delta between
22 each printk line and the next. When run with the '-b' option, all times
23 are relative to a single (base) point in time.
26 -h Show this usage help.
27 -b <base> Specify a base for time references.
28 <base> can be a number or a string.
29 If it is a string, the first message line
30 which matches (at the beginning of the
31 line) is used as the time reference.
