5The short summary of what IOshark is : IOshark has 2 components, one
6is a strace+ftrace compiler that takes straces and select ftraces fed
7into it and compiles this into bytecodes (stored in *.wl files). The
8compiler runs on a Linux host. The second component (which runs on the
9device) is the tester that takes as input the bytecode files (*.wl
10files) and executes them on the device.

12How to Run :
13----------
14- First collect straces and compile these into bytecodes. The wrapper
15script provided (collect-straces.sh) collects straces, ships them to
16the host where the script runs, compiles and packages up the bytecode
17files into a wl.tar file.
18- Ship the wl.tar file and the iostark_bench binaries to the target
19device (on /data/local/tmp say). Explode the tarfile.
20- Run the tester. "ioshark_bench *.wl" runs the test with default
21options. Supported ioshark_bench options :
22-d : Preserve the delays between successive filesystem syscalls as
23seen in the original straces.
24-n <N> : Run for N iterations
25-t <N> : Limit to N threads. By default (without this option), IOshark
26will launch as many threads as there are input files, so 1 thread/file.
27-v : verbose. Chatty mode.
28-s : One line summary.
29-q : Don't create the files in read-only partitions like /system and
30/vendor. Instead do reads on those files.
