.SH DESCRIPTION
This measures thread IDs as a process runs across multiple CPUs.
It is a simple script that can help determine if a multi-threaded
application is effectively using it's threads, or if the threads have
serialised. See the example file in Docs/Examples/threaded_example.txt
for a demonstration.

Since this uses DTrace, only the root user or users with the
dtrace_kernel privilege can run this command.
