+rtla-osnoise-hist(1)
+===================
+
+NAME
+----
+rtla-osnoise-hist - Display a histogram of the osnoise tracer samples
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+*rtla osnoise hist* ['OPTIONS']
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The *rtla-osnoise-hist(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, SoftIRQs and IRQs enabled, thus
+allowing all the sources of osnoise during its execution. The osnoise threads
+take note of the delta between each time read. Anytime the delta between two
+consecutive reads of the timer is higher than a 'threshold,' an
+*osnoise:sample_threshold* event is generated reporting the detected noise.
+
+The *rtla-osnoise-hist(1)* tool collects all *osnoise:sample_threshold*
+occurrence in a histogram, displaying the results in a user-friendly way.
+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'].
+*-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.
+
+*-b*, --bucket-size 'N'::
+Set the histogram bucket size (default 1).
+*-e*, --entries 'N'::
+Set the number of entries of the histogram (default 256).
+*--no-header*::
+Do not print header.
+*--no-summary*::
+Do not print summary.
+*--no-index*::
+Do not print index.
+*--skip-zeros*::
+Skip zero only entries.
+
+EXAMPLE
+-------
+In the example below, osnoise tracer threads are set to run with real-time
+priority 'FIFO:1', on CPUs '0-11', 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.' The output histogram is
+set to group outputs in buckets of '10 us' and '25' entries.
