+.TH zfsdist 8 "2016-02-12" "USER COMMANDS"
+.SH NAME
+zfsdist \- Summarize ZFS operation latency. Uses Linux eBPF/bcc.
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B zfsdist [\-h] [\-T] [\-N] [\-d] [interval] [count]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This tool summarizes time (latency) spent in common ZFS file operations: reads,
+writes, opens, and syncs, and presents it as a power-of-2 histogram. It uses an
+in-kernel eBPF map to store the histogram for efficiency.
+
+This uses kernel dynamic tracing of the ZPL interface (ZFS POSIX
+Layer), and will need updates to match any changes to this interface.
+.TP
+This is intended to work with the ZFS on Linux project:
+http:https://zfsonlinux.org
+.PP
+Since this uses BPF, only the root user can use this tool.
+.SH REQUIREMENTS
+CONFIG_BPF and bcc.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+\-h
+Print usage message.
+.TP
+\-T
+Don't include timestamps on interval output.
+.TP
+\-m
+Output in milliseconds.
+.TP
+\-p PID
+Trace this PID only.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.TP
+Trace ZFS operation time, and print a summary on Ctrl-C:
+#
+.B zfsdist
+.TP
+Trace PID 181 only:
+#
+.B zfsdist -p 181
+.TP
+Print 1 second summaries, 10 times:
+#
+.B zfsdist 1 10
+.TP
+1 second summaries, printed in milliseconds
+#
+.B zfsdist \-m 1
+.SH FIELDS
+.TP
+msecs
+Range of milliseconds for this bucket.
+.TP
+usecs
+Range of microseconds for this bucket.
+.TP
+count
+Number of operations in this time range.
+.TP
+distribution
+ASCII representation of the distribution (the count column).
+.SH OVERHEAD
+This adds low-overhead instrumentation to these ZFS operations,
+including reads and writes from the file system cache. Such reads and writes
+can be very frequent (depending on the workload; eg, 1M/sec), at which
+point the overhead of this tool may become noticeable.
+Measure and quantify before use.
+.SH SOURCE
+This is from bcc.
+.IP
+https://github.com/iovisor/bcc
+.PP
+Also look in the bcc distribution for a companion _examples.txt file containing
+example usage, output, and commentary for this tool.
+.SH OS
+Linux
+.SH STABILITY
+Unstable - in development.
