Subject: [PATCH] Added a format string example to the man page. While the
 documentation is clear, it is nice to see an example to get started. Single
 quotes are used to prevent the shell from running our bmon patterns as
 commands, and to prevent it from doing wildcard expansion for the interface
 string.
