SIGINT BEHAVIOR
===============

On the first SIGINT, RTLA exits after collecting all outstanding samples up to
the point of receiving the signal.

When receiving more than one SIGINT, RTLA discards any outstanding samples, and
exits while displaying only samples that have already been processed.

If SIGINT is received during RTLA cleanup, RTLA exits immediately via
the default signal handler.

Note: For the purpose of SIGINT behavior, the expiry of duration specified via
the -d/--duration option is treated as equivalent to receiving a SIGINT. For
example, a SIGINT received after duration expired but samples have not been
processed yet will drop any outstanding samples.

Also note that when using the timerlat tool in BPF mode, samples are processed
in-kernel; RTLA only copies them out to display them to the user. A second
SIGINT does not affect in-kernel sample aggregation.

EXIT STATUS

 1    Error: invalid argument
 2    Failed: the test hit the stop tracing condition
