+ Uprobes is the user-space counterpart to kprobes: they
+ enable instrumentation applications (such as 'perf probe')
+ to establish unintrusive probes in user-space binaries and
+ libraries, by executing handler functions when the probes
+ are hit by user-space applications.
+
+ ( These probes come in the form of single-byte breakpoints,
+ managed by the kernel and kept transparent to the probed
+ application. )
+
+ If in doubt, say "N".
