+          Uprobes is the user-space counterpart to kprobes: they
+          enable instrumentation applications (such as 'perf probe')
+          to establish unintrusive probes in user-space binaries and
+          libraries, by executing handler functions when the probes
+          are hit by user-space applications.
+
+          ( These probes come in the form of single-byte breakpoints,
+            managed by the kernel and kept transparent to the probed
+            application. )
