+.BI io_limit \fR=\fPint
+Normally fio operates within the region set by \fBsize\fR, which means that
+the \fBsize\fR option sets both the region and size of IO to be performed.
+Sometimes that is not what you want. With this option, it is possible to
+define just the amount of IO that fio should do. For instance, if \fBsize\fR
+is set to 20G and \fBio_limit\fR is set to 5G, fio will perform IO within
+the first 20G but exit when 5G have been done.
