+rtla-osnoise-top(1)
+===================
+
+NAME
+----
+rtla-osnoise-top - Display a summary of the operating system noise
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+*rtla osnoise top* ['OPTIONS']
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The rtla-osnoise-top(1) tool is an interface for the osnoise tracer. The
+osnoise tracer dispatches a kernel thread per-cpu. These threads read the
+time in a loop while with preemption, softirq and IRQs enabled, thus
+allowing all the sources of osnoise during its execution. The osnoise's
+tracer threads take note of the delta between each time read, along with
+an interference counter for each source of interference. At the end of
+each period, the osnoise tracer displays a summary of the results.
+
+*rtla osnoise top* collects the periodic summary from the osnoise tracer,
+including the counters of the occurrence of the interference source,
+displaying the results in a user-friendly format.
+
+The tool also allows many configurations of the osnoise tracer and the
+collection of the tracer output.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+*-h*, *--help*::
+Print help menu.
+*-p*, *--period* 'us'::
+Set the osnoise tracer period in microseconds.
+*-r*, *--runtime* 'us'::
+Set the osnoise tracer runtime in microseconds.
+*-s*, *--stop* 'us'::
+Stop the trace if a single sample is higher than the argument in microseconds.
+If -T is set, it will also save the trace to the output.
+*-S*, *--stop-total* 'us'::
+Stop the trace if the total sample is higher than the argument in microseconds.
+If -T is set, it will also save the trace to the output.
+*-c*, *--cpus* 'cpu-list'::
+Set the osnoise tracer to run the sample threads in the cpu-list.
+*-d*, *--duration* 'time[s|m|h|d]'::
+Set the duration of the session.
+*-T*, *--trace*['=file']::
+Save the stopped trace to ['file|osnoise_trace.txt'].
+*-q*, *--quiet*::
+Print only a summary at the end of the session.
+*-P*, *--priority* 'o:prio|r:prio|f:prio|d:runtime:period'::
+Set scheduling parameters to the osnoise tracer threads, the format to set the priority are:
+ - 'o:prio' - use SCHED_OTHER with 'prio';
+ - 'r:prio' - use SCHED_RR with 'prio';
+ - 'f:prio' - use SCHED_FIFO with 'prio';
+ - 'd:runtime[us|ms|s]:period[us|ms|s]' - use SCHED_DEADLINE with 'runtime' and 'period' in nanoseconds.
+
+EXAMPLE
+-------
+In the example below, the rtla osnoise top tool is set to run with a
+real-time priority 'FIFO:1', on CPUs '0-3', for '900ms' at each period
+('1s' by default). The reason for reducing the runtime is to avoid starving
+the rtla tool. The tool is also set to run for 'one minute' and to display
+a summary of the report at the end of the session.
