 This command manages the build-id cache. It can add, remove, update and purge
 files to/from the cache. In the future it should as well set upper limits for
 the space used by the cache, etc.
+This also scans the target binary for SDT (Statically Defined Tracing) and
+record it along with the buildid-cache, which will be used by perf-probe.
+For more details, see linkperf:perf-probe[1].

 Probe points are defined by following syntax.
 
     1) Define event based on function name
-     [EVENT=]FUNC[@SRC][:RLN|+OFFS|%return|;PTN] [ARG ...]
+     [[GROUP:]EVENT=]FUNC[@SRC][:RLN|+OFFS|%return|;PTN] [ARG ...]
 
     2) Define event based on source file with line number
-     [EVENT=]SRC:ALN [ARG ...]
+     [[GROUP:]EVENT=]SRC:ALN [ARG ...]
 
     3) Define event based on source file with lazy pattern
-     [EVENT=]SRC;PTN [ARG ...]
+     [[GROUP:]EVENT=]SRC;PTN [ARG ...]
 
 
-'EVENT' specifies the name of new event, if omitted, it will be set the name of the probed function. Currently, event group name is set as 'probe'.
+'EVENT' specifies the name of new event, if omitted, it will be set the name of the probed function. You can also specify a group name by 'GROUP', if omitted, set 'probe' is used for kprobe and 'probe_<bin>' is used for uprobe.
+Note that using existing group name can conflict with other events. Especially, using the group name reserved for kernel modules can hide embedded events in the
+modules.
 'FUNC' specifies a probed function name, and it may have one of the following options; '+OFFS' is the offset from function entry address in bytes, ':RLN' is the relative-line number from function entry line, and '%return' means that it probes function return. And ';PTN' means lazy matching pattern (see LAZY MATCHING). Note that ';PTN' must be the end of the probe point definition.  In addition, '@SRC' specifies a source file which has that function.
 It is also possible to specify a probe point by the source line number or lazy matching by using 'SRC:ALN' or 'SRC;PTN' syntax, where 'SRC' is the source file path, ':ALN' is the line number and ';PTN' is the lazy matching pattern.
 'ARG' specifies the arguments of this probe point, (see PROBE ARGUMENT).
