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