etc. in the trace histogram documentation.

 Multiple variables can be assigned at the same time.  The below would
 result in both ts0 and b being created as variables, with both
 common_timestamp and field1 additionally being summed as values:
 
-  # echo 'hist:keys=pid:vals=$ts0,$b:ts0=common_timestamp,b=field1 ... >> \

 Note that variable assignments can appear either preceding or
 following their use.  The command below behaves identically to the
 command above:

+  # echo 'hist:keys=pid:ts0=common_timestamp,b=field1:vals=$ts0,$b ...' >> \

 Any number of variables not bound to a 'vals=' prefix can also be
 assigned by simply separating them with colons.  Below is the same
 thing but without the values being summed in the histogram:
 
-  # echo 'hist:keys=pid:ts0=common_timestamp:b=field1 ... >> event/trigger
+  # echo 'hist:keys=pid:ts0=common_timestamp:b=field1 ...' >> event/trigger
 
 Variables set as above can be referenced and used in expressions on
 another event.
 
 For example, here's how a latency can be calculated:
 
-  # echo 'hist:keys=pid,prio:ts0=common_timestamp ... >> event1/trigger
-  # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:wakeup_lat=common_timestamp-$ts0 ... >> event2/trigger
+  # echo 'hist:keys=pid,prio:ts0=common_timestamp ...' >> event1/trigger
+  # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:wakeup_lat=common_timestamp-$ts0 ...' >> event2/trigger

 variable ts0.  In the next line, ts0 is subtracted from the second
