The rtla is a meta-tool that includes a set of commands that aims to analyze the real-time properties of Linux. But instead of testing Linux as a black box, rtla leverages kernel tracing capabilities to provide precise information about the properties and root causes of unexpected results. rtla --help works and provide information about the available options. This is just the "main" and the Makefile, no function yet.
