+	Boottrace is a new kernel-userspace interface for capturing trace
+	events during system boot and shutdown. Event annotations are
+	present in:
+
+	- The boot and shutdown paths in the kernel
+	- Some key system utilities (init(8), shutdown(8), reboot(8))
+	- rc(8) scripts (via boottrace(8))
+
+        In contrast to other existing boot-time tracing facilities like TSLOG,
+        Boottrace focuses on the ease of use and is aimed primarily at system
+        administrators.
+
+        It is available in the default GENERIC kernel and can be enabled by
+        toggling a single sysctl(8) variable.
+
+	See boottrace(4) for more details.
