fio: Convert a specific job file to command-line options.
$ fio --showcmd ${path-to-job_file}
try on your machine
The command "fio --showcmd ${path-to-job_file}" is used to execute a fio job file and display the generated command that would be executed by fio.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "fio" is the command-line tool used to benchmark and stress test storage systems.
- "--showcmd" is a flag that instructs fio to display the command that would be executed based on the job file specified.
- "${path-to-job_file}" is the path to the fio job file that contains the configuration settings for the benchmark or test.
By running this command, fio will read the job file, interpret its settings, and display the exact command used to execute the benchmark or test. This is helpful for debugging and verifying the correctness of the job file before actually running the benchmark.
