An example of such a path might be "/memory/heap/free". // // The unit is by convention a series of lowercase English unit names (singular or plural) // without prefixes delimited by '*' or '/'. The unit names may contain any valid Unicode // codepoint that is not a delimiter. // Examples of units might be "seconds", "bytes", "bytes/second", "cpu-seconds", // "byte*cpu-seconds", and "bytes/second/second". // // For histograms, multiple units may apply. For instance, the units of the buckets and // the count.
