Provide a comparison to kernelshark #1

Closed ampresent closed 4 years ago

These two tools seem alike. What are the pros & cons, or differences in your view ? Can you kindly provide it in the README, so we can easily know what we can expect ?

I am not interested in providing a comparison between traceshark and kernelshark. I am not an expert on how to use kernelshark. Doing a fair and accurate comparison between the two would be a lot of work for me and I am not convinced that the end result would be accurate and unbiased. I would rather spend this time and effort on improving traceshark and it's documentation.

What I try to do is to provide a few screenshots and a fairly detailed documentation of the functionality in the README.md, "1. Introduction to Traceshark", especially in the subsection "1.1.2 Functionality of the buttons".

Fair point. Better document will do the same. Thank!
