+11.0 Log File Formats
+---------------------
+
+Fio supports a variety of log file formats, for logging latencies, bandwidth,
+and IOPS. The logs share a common format, which looks like this:
+
+time (msec), value, data direction, offset
+
+Time for the log entry is always in milliseconds. The value logged depends
+on the type of log, it will be one of the following:
+
+ Latency log Value is latency in usecs
+ Bandwidth log Value is in KB/sec
+ IOPS log Value is IOPS
+
+Data direction is one of the following:
+
+ 0 IO is a READ
+ 1 IO is a WRITE
+ 2 IO is a TRIM
+
+The offset is the offset, in bytes, from the start of the file, for that
+particular IO. The logging of the offset can be toggled with 'log_offset'.
+
+If windowed logging is enabled though 'log_avg_msec', then fio doesn't log
+individual IOs. Instead of logs the average values over the specified
+period of time. Since 'data direction' and 'offset' are per-IO values,
+they aren't applicable if windowed logging is enabled. If windowed logging
+is enabled and 'log_max_value' is set, then fio logs maximum values in
+that window instead of averages.
