@ -47,12 +47,22 @@ Two ways to run IOR:
E.g., to execute: IOR -W -f script
This defaults all tests in 'script' to use write data checking.
* The Command line supports to specify additional parameters for the choosen API.
For example, username and password for the storage.
Available options are listed in the help text after selecting the API when running with -h.
For example, 'IOR -a DUMMY -h' shows the supported options for the DUMMY backend.
The options for the backend must be specified at last and are separated with
two dashes '--'. Example: 'IOR -a DUMMY -- -c 1000' defines a delay for the
file creation for the plugin. Currently, it is not possible to set these
backend options using a command line script (-f option).

These options are to be used on the command line. E.g., 'IOR -a POSIX -b 4K'.
-a S api -- API for I/O [POSIX|MPIIO|HDF5|HDFS|IME|S3|S3_EMC|NCMPI]
-a S api -- API for I/O, e.g., POSIX
-A N refNum -- user reference number to include in long summary
-b N blockSize -- contiguous bytes to write per task (e.g.: 8, 4k, 2m, 1g)
-B useO_DIRECT -- uses O_DIRECT for POSIX, bypassing I/O buffers
