The rtla osnoise hist tool collects all osnoise:sample_threshold
occurrence in a histogram, displaying the results in a user-friendly
way. The tool also allows many configurations of the osnoise tracer
and the collection of the tracer output.

Here is one example of the rtla osnoise hist tool output:
  ---------- %< ----------
