+ help
+ bootchartd is commonly used to profile the boot process
+ for the purpose of speeding it up. In this case, it is started
+ by the kernel as the init process. This is configured by adding
+ the init=/sbin/bootchartd option to the kernel command line.
+
+ It can also be used to monitor the resource usage of a specific
+ application or the running system in general. In this case,
+ bootchartd is started interactively by running bootchartd start
+ and stopped using bootchartd stop.
