#
# gethostlatency  Show latency for getaddrinfo/gethostbyname[2] calls.
#                 For Linux, uses BCC, eBPF. Embedded C.
#
# This can be useful for identifying DNS latency, by identifying which
# remote host name lookups were slow, and by how much.
#
# This uses dynamic tracing of user-level functions and registers, and may
# need modifications to match your software and processor architecture.
