Thanks. > > Why extra flag though? I think it's so useful that everyone would want to see No good reason apart from "being safe by default". If turned on by default, bpftool would need to probe for bpf_iter support first. I can add probing and do this by default. > this by default. Also the word 'pid' has kernel meaning or user space meaning? > Looks like kernel then bpftool should say 'tid'. No, its process ID in user-space sense. See task->tgid in pid_iter.bpf.c.

Grouping by comm is kind of a pain, though, plus usually there will be one process only. So let me start with doing comm (pid) for each PID independently. I think that will be as good in practice.
