18This program parses the output from a set of printk message lines which
19have time data prefixed because the CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME option is set, or
20the kernel command line option "time" is specified. When run with no
21options, the time information is converted to show the time delta between
22each printk line and the next.  When run with the '-b' option, all times
23are relative to a single (base) point in time.
24
25Options:
26  -h            Show this usage help.
27  -b <base>	Specify a base for time references.
28		<base> can be a number or a string.
29		If it is a string, the first message line
30		which matches (at the beginning of the
31		line) is used as the time reference.
32
33ex: $ dmesg >timefile
34    $ show_delta -b NET4 timefile
35
36will show times relative to the line in the kernel output
37starting with "NET4".
