# bon\_csv2txt(1)

Part of [bon\_csv2html(1)](/bon_csv2html/1.md).

## NAME

**bon\_csv2html** program to convert CSV format Bonnie++ data to a HTML form using tables suitable for display on a web page. NB Lynx can't display this properly, and due to the size it probably requires 1024x768 monitor to display properly.

**bon\_csv2txt** program to convert CSV format Bonnie++ data to plain-text format suitable for pasting into an email or reading on a Braille display.

## DESCRIPTION

They take CSV format (comma-delimited spreadsheet files AKA Comma Seperated Values in MS land) data on standard input and produce HTML or plain text on standard output respectively.

## FORMAT

This is a list of the fields used in the CSV files format version 2.  Format version 1 was the type used in Bonnie++ \< 1.90. Before each field I list the field number as well as the name given in the heading

- **11 put\_block,put\_block\_cpu**

  Results for writing a block at a time K/s,%CPU

- **13 rewrite,rewrite\_cpu**

  Results for reading and re-writing a block at a time K/s,%CPU

- **15 getc,getc\_cpu**

  Results for reading a character at a time K/s,%CPU

- **17 get\_block,get\_block\_cpu**

  Results for reading a block at a time K/s,%CPU

- **19 seeks,seeks\_cpu**

  Results for the seek test seeks/s,%CPU

- **21 num\_files**

  Number of files for file-creation tests (units of 1024 files)

- **22 max\_size**

  The maximum size of files for file-creation tests.  Or the type of files for links.

- **23 min\_size**

  The minimum size of files for file-creation tests.

- **24 num\_dirs**

  The number of directories for creation of files in multiple directories.

- **25 file\_chunk\_size**
