SYNOPSIS
========
**rtla timerlat hist** [*OPTIONS*] ...

DESCRIPTION
===========

.. include:: common_timerlat_description.rst

The **rtla timerlat hist** displays a histogram of each tracer event
occurrence. This tool uses the periodic information, and the
**osnoise:** tracepoints are enabled when using the **-T** option.

OPTIONS

.. include:: common_timerlat_aa.rst

EXAMPLE
=======
In the example below, **rtla timerlat hist** is set to run for *10* minutes,
in the cpus *0-4*, *skipping zero* only lines. Moreover, **rtla timerlat
hist** will change the priority of the *timerlat* threads to run under
*SCHED_DEADLINE* priority, with a *100us* runtime every *1ms* period. The
*1ms* period is also passed to the *timerlat* tracer. Auto-analysis is disabled
to reduce overhead ::
