be turned on for stap and thus -M option has to be added to stop stpd
merging per-cpu files.
-If you want LKET to log trace data in ASCII format, you should:
+You could use the command
+.I lket-b2a
+to convert the binary trace data
+generated by LKET into readable data in ascii format.

+.I lket-b2a
+uses the pre-cpu binary trace data files as inputs, and generates

+.I lket.out
+You should use "stap -b -M" with LKET to get those pre-cpu files
