# fio\_generate\_plots(1)

Generate plots for Flexible I/O Tester

## NAME

fio\_generate\_plots - Generate plots for Flexible I/O Tester

## SYNOPSIS

**fio\_generate\_plots**  title\

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **fio\_generate\_plots** command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

**fio\_generate\_plots** is a shell script that uses gnuplot to generate plots from fio run with --latency-log (-l) and/or  --bandwidth-log (-w). It expects the log files that fio generated in the current directory.

## OPTIONS

The script takes the title of the plot as only argument. It does not offer any additional options.
