syscount: can it show the name of the docker process running

Hi,

Thanks for the awesome project.

I am using the tool syscount to get an idea of the process that are running on the system. However, the tool doesn't print the name of the docker process running, it just put's docker. I ran the command python3 syscount.py -d 20 -L -P -m and I get the results below

PID    COMM               COUNT        TIME (ms)
1382   mysqld              9724    456236.207429
734    dockerd             7630    126039.254137
1282   containerd-shim      828    108546.290099
620    containerd          4275     94826.140667
1315   containerd-shim      670     87408.192358
1574   containerd-shim     1074     83925.470622
1951   containerd-shim     1324     79202.569171
1864   containerd-shim      850     78047.162087
1776   containerd-shim      942     73679.044255
1679   containerd-shim      701     73271.597548

I would like the tool to show the name of the container or process running instead of just dockerd. If it helps, I noticed that when I print the processes calling a particular syscall, it prints the name of the docker container. I ran the command python3 syscount.py --syscall epoll_wait -d 20 -L -P -m and got the results below. Notice that this time it shows oai_nrf a docker container on the system.

PID    COMM               COUNT        TIME (ms)

Oh, I am just see what I overlooked. The hint was in python3 syscount.py --syscall epoll_wait -d 20 -L -P -m print the process name. By default syscount prints the top 10 processes. The docker processes where not among the top 10. Increasing the limit with -T resolved it.
