 biolatency \- Summarize block device I/O latency as a histogram.
 .SH SYNOPSIS
@@ -8,8 +8,8 @@ biolatency traces block device I/O (disk I/O), and records the distribution
 of I/O latency (time). This is printed as a histogram either on Ctrl-C, or
 after a given interval in seconds.
 
-The latency of the disk I/O is measured from the issue to the device to its
-completion. A \-Q option can be used to include time queued in the kernel.

 This tool uses in-kernel eBPF maps for storing timestamps and the histogram,
 for efficiency.
