+ help
+ ktap is a script-based dynamic tracing tool for Linux
+
+ It uses a scripting language and lets users trace the Linux kernel
+ dynamically. ktap is designed to give operational insights with
+ interoperability that allows users to tune, troubleshoot and extend
+ kernel and application. It's similar to Linux Systemtap and
+ Solaris Dtrace.
+
+ ktap doesn't support kernels older than 3.1.
+
+ To be able to resolve symbols in DSO and for sdt, you need to enable
+ elfutils.
+
+ Your kernel must have CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING,
+ CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS, and CONFIG_DEBUG_FS enabled to compile.
+
+ Buildroot automatically enables these in the kernel configuration.
