-The program \fBsigwaittest\fR starts two threads or, optionally, forks two processes that are synchonized via signals and measures the latency between sending a signal and returning from sigwait().

.B \-b, \-\-breaktrace=USEC
Send break trace command when latency > USEC. This is a debugging option to control the latency tracer in the realtime preemption patch.
It is useful to track down unexpected large latencies of a system.

.B \-d, \-\-distance=DIST
-Set the distance of thread intervals in microseconds (default is 500 us). When cylictest is called with the -t option and more than one thread is created, then this distance value is added to the interval of the threads: Interval(thread N) = Interval(thread N-1) + DIST
