+Similar to the B<Process> option this allows to select more detailed
+statistics of processes matching the specified I<regex> (see L<regex(7)> for
+details). The statistics of all matching processes are summed up and
+dispatched to the daemon using the specified I<name> as an identifier. This
+allows to "group" several processes together. I<name> must not contain
+slashes.
