#
# ustat  Activity stats from high-level languages, including exceptions,
#        method calls, class loads, garbage collections, and more.
#        For Linux, uses BCC, eBPF.
#
# USAGE: ustat [-l {java,python,ruby,node,php}] [-C]
#        [-S {cload,excp,gc,method,objnew,thread}] [-r MAXROWS] [-d]
#        [interval [count]]
#
# This uses in-kernel eBPF maps to store per process summaries for efficiency.
# Newly-created processes might only be traced at the next interval, if the
# relevant USDT probe requires enabling through a semaphore.
