+Sometimes this is not the desired action. Setting \fBexit_all\fR will instead
+make fio terminate all jobs in the same group. The option \fBexit_what\fR
+allows to control which jobs get terminated when \fBexitall\fR is enabled. The
+default is \fBgroup\fR and does not change the behaviour of \fBexitall\fR. The
+setting \fBall\fR terminates all jobs. The setting \fBstonewall\fR terminates
+all currently running jobs across all groups and continues execution with the
+next stonewalled group.
