When specifying times the default suffix meaning changes, still denoting the
base unit of the value, but accepted suffixes are 'D' (days), 'H' (hours), 'M'
-(minutes), 'S' Seconds, 'ms' milli seconds. Time values without a unit specify
-seconds.
+(minutes), 'S' Seconds, 'ms' (or msec) milli seconds, 'us' (or 'usec') micro
+seconds. Time values without a unit specify seconds.
The suffixes are not case sensitive.

.BI directory \fR=\fPstr
Prefix filenames with this directory. Used to place files in a location other
than `./'.
+You can specify a number of directories by separating the names with a ':'
+character. These directories will be assigned equally distributed to job clones
+creates with \fInumjobs\fR as long as they are using generated filenames.
+If specific \fIfilename(s)\fR are set fio will use the first listed directory,
+and thereby matching the \fIfilename\fR semantic which generates a file each
+clone if not specified, but let all clones use the same if set.
