With `kb_base=1024' (the default), the unit prefixes are opposite
from those specified in the SI and IEC 80000-13 standards to provide
compatibility with old scripts. For example, 4k means 4096.
.TP
.BI offset \fR=\fPint[%|z]
Start I/O at the provided offset in the file, given as either a fixed size in
-bytes or a percentage. If a percentage is given, the generated offset will be
+bytes, zones or a percentage. If a percentage is given, the generated offset will be
aligned to the minimum \fBblocksize\fR or to the value of \fBoffset_align\fR if
provided. Data before the given offset will not be touched. This
effectively caps the file size at `real_size \- offset'. Can be combined with
\fBsize\fR to constrain the start and end range of the I/O workload.
A percentage can be specified by a number between 1 and 100 followed by '%',
-for example, `offset=20%' to specify 20%.

.BI offset_align \fR=\fPint
If set to non-zero value, the byte offset generated by a percentage \fBoffset\fR
intended to operate on a file in parallel disjoint segments, with even
spacing between the starting points. Percentages can be used for this option.
If a percentage is given, the generated offset will be aligned to the minimum

.BI number_ios \fR=\fPint
Fio will normally perform I/Os until it has exhausted the size of the region
If this option is not specified, fio will use the full size of the given
files or devices. If the files do not exist, size must be given. It is also
possible to give size as a percentage between 1 and 100. If `size=20%' is
-given, fio will use 20% of the full size of the given files or devices.

.BI io_size \fR=\fPint[%|z] "\fR,\fB io_limit" \fR=\fPint[%|z]
Normally fio operates within the region set by \fBsize\fR, which means
done. The opposite is also possible \-\- if \fBsize\fR is set to 20GiB,
and \fBio_size\fR is set to 40GiB, then fio will do 40GiB of I/O within
the 0..20GiB region. Value can be set as percentage: \fBio_size\fR=N%.
-In this case \fBio_size\fR multiplies \fBsize\fR= value.

Individual file sizes. May be a range, in which case fio will select sizes

Sets size to something really large and waits for ENOSPC (no space left on
-device) as the terminating condition. Only makes sense with sequential
+device) or EDQUOT (disk quota exceeded)
+as the terminating condition. Only makes sense with sequential
write. For a read workload, the mount point will be filled first then I/O
started on the result. This option doesn't make sense if operating on a raw
device node, since the size of that is already known by the file system.
.BI (librpma_*_server)direct_write_to_pmem \fR=\fPbool
Set to 1 only when Direct Write to PMem from the remote host is possible. Otherwise, set to 0.

The IP address of the network interface used to send or receive UDP
multicast.
