+//! This example demonstrates how to use the tokio-console application for tracing tokio tasks's
+//! runtime behaviour. Subsystems will appear under their registration names.
+//!
+//! To make this work,
+//!
+//! * Compile `tokio-graceful-shutdown` with the `tokio-unstable` feature to register subsystem
+//!   task names.
+//!
+//! * Run this example with the environment variable:
+//!
+//!   ```
+//!   RUSTFLAGS=="--cfg tokio_unstable"
+//!   ```
+//!
+//! * Run the `tokio-console` CLI application and watch your snappy low-latency tasks
