When run with no options, the time information is converted to show the time delta between each printk line and the next. When run with the '-b' option, all times are relative to a single (base) point in time. Options: -h Show this usage help. -b <base> Specify a base for time references. <base> can be a number or a string. If it is a string, the first message line which matches (at the beginning of the line) is used as the time reference. ex: $ dmesg >timefile $ show_delta -b NET4 timefile will show times relative to the line in the kernel output starting with "NET4".
