     <title>Getting Started</title>
-    <p>The <c>ttb</c> module is the interface to all functions in the
-      Trace Tool Builder. To get started the least you need to do is to

-      trace flags on the processes you want to trace with
-      <c>ttb:p/2</c>. Then, when the tracing is completed, you must stop
-      the tracer with <c>ttb:stop/0/1</c> and format the trace log with
-      <c>ttb:format/1/2</c> (as long as there is anything to format, of
-      course).
