/*
 * loads	Prints load averages.
 *		For Linux, uses bpftrace and eBPF.
 *
 * These are the same load averages printed by "uptime", but to three decimal
 * places instead of two (not that it really matters). This is really a
 * demonstration of fetching and processing a kernel structure from bpftrace.
 *
 * USAGE: loads.bt
 *
 * This is a bpftrace version of a DTraceToolkit tool.
