-	help
-	  ktap is a script-based dynamic tracing tool for Linux
-
-	  It uses a scripting language and lets users trace the Linux
-	  kernel dynamically. ktap is designed to give operational
-	  insights with interoperability that allows users to tune,
-	  troubleshoot and extend kernel and application.
-	  It's similar to Linux Systemtap and Solaris Dtrace.
-
-	  ktap doesn't support kernels older than 3.1.
-
-	  To be able to resolve symbols in DSO and for sdt, you need to
-	  enable elfutils.
-
-	  Your kernel must have CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING,
-	  CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS, and CONFIG_DEBUG_FS enabled to compile.
-
-	  Buildroot automatically enables these in the kernel
-	  configuration.
