From 09feee843ec1f5e00db56da5f4ff91847c3cd958 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hiroaki Mihara Date: Fri, 20 Sep 2019 14:03:36 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] blkparse: man: add absolute timestamp printing option The functionality of printing out absolute timestamps has been implemented in code but not documented in man pages. When comparing the timings of related events with block I/O traces, the absolute timestams play a key role. I think that the documentation of this might be beneficial to blktrace users.
