+rtla-timerlat(1)
+================
+
+NAME
+----
+rtla-timerlat - Measures the operating system timer latency
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+*rtla timerlat* [MODE] ...
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The rtla-timerlat(1) tool is an interface for the timerlat tracer. The
+timerlat tracer dispatches a kernel thread per-cpu. These threads set
+a periodic timer to wake themselves up and go back to sleep. After the
+wakeup, they collect and generate useful information for the debugging
+of operating system timer latency.
+
+The timerlat tracer outputs information in two ways. It periodically
+prints the timer latency at the timer 'IRQ' handler and the 'Thread' handler.
+It also provides information for each noise via the osnoise tracepoints.
+The rtla-timerlat-top(1) mode displays a summary of the periodic output
+from the timerlat tracer. The rtla-hist-hist(1) mode displays a histogram of
+each tracer event occurrence. For further details, please refer to the
+respective man page.
+
+MODES
+-----
+*top*::
+ Prints the summary from timerlat tracer.
+*hist*::
+ Prints a histogram of timerlat samples.
+
+If no MODE is given, the top mode is called, passing the arguments.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+*-h*, *--help*::
+ Display the help text.
+
+For other options, see the man page for the corresponding mode.
