+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This 'perf bench' command is general framework for benchmark suites.

+% perf bench sched pipe                      # with no style specify
+(executing 1000000 pipe operations between two tasks)
+        Total time:5.855 sec
+                5.855061 usecs/op
+		170792 ops/sec
+---------------------
+
+'simple'::
+This simple style is friendly for automated
+processing by scripts.
+---------------------
+% perf bench --format=simple sched pipe      # specified simple
+5.988

+--pipe::
+Use pipe() instead of socketpair()
+
+-t::

+% perf bench sched messaging                 # run with default
+options (20 sender and receiver processes per group)
+(10 groups == 400 processes run)
+
+      Total time:0.308 sec
+
+% perf bench sched messaging -t -g 20        # be multi-thread,with 20 groups
+(20 sender and receiver threads per group)
+(20 groups == 800 threads run)
+
+      Total time:0.582 sec

+-l::
+--loop=::
+Specify number of loops.
+
+Example of *pipe*
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
