 Synopsis of kprobe_events
 -------------------------
-  p[:EVENT] SYMBOL[+offs|-offs]|MEMADDR [FETCHARGS]	: Set a probe
-  r[:EVENT] SYMBOL[+0] [FETCHARGS]			: Set a return probe
+  p[:EVENT] SYMBOL[+offs]|MEMADDR [FETCHARGS]	: Set a probe
+  r[:EVENT] SYMBOL[+0] [FETCHARGS]		: Set a return probe
 
- EVENT			: Event name. If omitted, the event name is generated
