+**-a**, **--auto** *us*
+
+        Set the automatic trace mode. This mode sets some commonly used options
+        while debugging the system. It is equivalent to use **-T** *us* **-s** *us*
+        **-t**. By default, *timerlat* tracer uses FIFO:95 for *timerlat* threads,
+        thus equilavent to **-P** *f:95*.
+
 **-p**, **--period** *us*
 
         Set the *timerlat* tracer period in microseconds.
