	To test the PERF_RECORD_SWITCH record, pick a pid and replace
	in the following line.

	Example output:

cpu: 3, pid: 31463, tid: 31593 { type: context_switch, next_prev_pid: 31463, next_prev_tid: 31593, switch_out: 1 }

	It is possible as well to use event.misc & perf.PERF_RECORD_MISC_SWITCH_OUT
	to figure out if this is a context switch in or out of the monitored threads.

	If bored, please add command line option parsing support for these options :-)
