+If you want to verify a single benchmark result, you can run a single test
+using a command like this:
+
+    bionic-benchmarks --bionic_xml=string.xml --benchmark_filter=BM_string_memcmp/1/1/0
+
+Where the argument to the filter argument is the name of the benchmark from
+the output. Sometimes this filter can still match multiple benchmarks, to
+guarantee that you only run the single benchmark, you can execute the benchmark
+like so:
+
+    bionic-benchmarks --bionic_xml=string.xml --benchmark_filter=BM_string_memcmp/1/1/0$

+NOTE: It is assumed that these commands are executed in adb as the shell user
+on device. If you are trying to run this using adb directly from a host
+machine, you might need to escape the special shell characters such as **$**.

 ## Testing
 
 Run the bionic tests to verify that the new routines are valid. However,
