<div class="block">A linear frequency distribution aggregated by the DTrace <code>lquantize()</code> action.  Aggregated values fall into consecutive ranges
 bounded by the step parameter of the <code>lquantize()</code> action.
 Each range, known as a bucket, begins at the <code>lquantize()</code>
 lower bound, or base, plus a multiple of the <code>lquantize()</code>
 step, unless it is the first bucket, which is the frequency of all
 aggregated values less than the base.  The last bucket counts all
 aggregated values greater than or equal to the <code>lquantize()</code>
 upper bound.  For example
 <pre>          <code> @ = lquantize(n, 0, 100, 10);</code></pre>
 results in a distribution with a base of 0, an upper bound of 100,
 and a step of 10.  It has twelve buckets starting with <code>n &lt; 0</code>
 and ending with <code>n &gt;= 100</code>.  The buckets in between are <code>0 .. 9</code>, <code>10 .. 19</code>, etc.
