as they want, by writing proper values to the ``init_regions`` file. Each line
of the input should represent one region in below form.::
- <target id> <start address> <end address>
+ <target idx> <start address> <end address>
-The ``target id`` should already in ``target_ids`` file, and the regions should
-be passed in address order. For example, below commands will set a couple of
-address ranges, ``1-100`` and ``100-200`` as the initial monitoring target
-region of process 42, and another couple of address ranges, ``20-40`` and
-``50-100`` as that of process 4242.::
+The ``target idx`` should be the index of the target in ``target_ids`` file,

Note that this sets the initial monitoring target regions only. In case of
virtual memory monitoring, DAMON will automatically updates the boundary of the
