Yes, you are right. When using the --command-name filter, there can be
other tasks in between. This won't be a problem without the --command-name
filtering, as no task will be missed, and we can be sure that the C0 sched-in
time is the B0 sched-out time.
I will add the sched-out time when using the --command-name option in v3.

Sure, I will do that.

This looks much better, will change it in v3. Thank you!

Sure, got it.

Do you want me to add another command line option to support matching
with TID?
Thanks for all the suggestions. Will implement them and send v3.
