there are several jobs which are intended to operate on a file in parallel in
disjoint segments, with even spacing between the starting points.
.TP
+.BI number_ios \fR=\fPint
+Fio will normally perform IOs until it has exhausted the size of the region
+set by \fBsize\fR, or if it exhaust the allocated time (or hits an error
+condition). With this setting, the range/size can be set independently of
+the number of IOs to perform. When fio reaches this number, it will exit
+normally and report status.
+.TP
.BI fsync \fR=\fPint
How many I/Os to perform before issuing an \fBfsync\fR\|(2) of dirty data. If
0, don't sync. Default: 0.
