- * perf stat:  /usr/bin/time -alike performance counter statistics utility
+ * builtin-stat.c
+ *
+ * Builtin stat command: Give a precise performance counters summary
+ * overview about any workload, CPU or specific PID.
+ *
+ * Sample output:
 
-          It summarizes the counter events of all tasks (and child tasks),
-          covering all CPUs that the command (or workload) executes on.
-          It only counts the per-task events of the workload started,
-          independent of how many other tasks run on those CPUs.
