# vfsreadlat.py		VFS read latency distribution.
#			For Linux, uses BCC, eBPF. See .c file.
#
# Written as a basic example of a function latency distribution histogram.
#
# USAGE: vfsreadlat.py [interval [count]]
#
# The default interval is 5 seconds. A Ctrl-C will print the partially
# gathered histogram then exit.
