#!/usr/bin/env python

# module to parse fio histogram log files, not using pandas
# runs in python v2 or v3
# to get help with the CLI: $ python fio-histo-log-pctiles.py -h
# this can be run standalone as a script but is callable
# assumes all threads run for same time duration
# assumes all threads are doing the same thing for the entire run

# percentiles:
#  0 - min latency
#  50 - median
#  100 - max latency

# TO-DO: 
#   separate read and write stats for randrw mixed workload
#   report average latency if needed
#   prove that it works (partially done with unit tests)

# to run unit tests, set UNITTEST environment variable to anything
# if you do this, don't pass normal CLI parameters to it
# otherwise it runs the CLI
