Snapshots are frequently generated and they include the git meta data as
well. You can download them here:
--bandwidth-log Generate per-job bandwidth logs
--minimal Minimal (terse) output
--version Print version info and exit
+ --terse-version=type Terse version output format
--help Print this page
--cmdhelp=cmd Print command help, "all" for all of them
--showcmd Turn a job file into command line options

- rw, offset, length
- where with rw=0/1 for read/write, and the offset
- and length entries being in bytes.
+ read_iolog=x Open and read io pattern from file 'x'. The file format
+ is described in the HOWTO.
write_iolog=x Write an iolog to file 'x' in the same format as iolog.
The iolog options are exclusive, if both given the
read iolog will be performed. Specify a separate file
Platforms
---------
-Fio works on (at least) Linux, Solaris, AIX, OSX, NetBSD, Windows and FreeBSD.
-Some features and/or options may only be available on some of the platforms,
-typically because those features only apply to that platform (like the
