-	Select the memory operation type: load or store (default: load,store)
+	Select the memory operation type: load, store, ldst (default: load,store).
+	The type 'ldst' means the single event can record both for load and store
+	operations; Intel and PowerPC support the types 'load' and 'store' but
+	'ldst' cannot be used; on Arm64, it uses Arm SPE as memory events and
+	user needs to specify one of these three types.
