# This program attaches an eBPF tracepoint to sys_enter_clone,
# counts per-PID clone syscalls, stores them in a hash map,
# and then plots the distribution as a histogram using matplotlib.
# It provides a quick view of process creation activity over 10 seconds.
# Everything is done with Python only code and with the new pylibbpf library.
# Run `sudo /path/to/python/binary/ clone_plot.py`
