NAME

filebenchmark  -- tests files creation and deletion performance

SYNOPSIS

	filebenchmark <operation> <path> <filePrefix> <numFiles> <numThreads> <reportFreqSec> <blkSizeBytes> <fileSizeBlks>

DESCRIPTION

	operation:     c or d. c=create. d=delete
	path:          where files get created
	filePrefx:     beginning of the file name
	numFiles:      how many files should be created by each thread
	numThreads:    how many concurrent threads should process files. 
	               Every thread processes files in a separate directory
	reportFreqSec: how often (in sec) should the processing speed be reported
	blkSizeBytes:  block size in bytes for new files
    fileSizeBlks:  file size in blocks

BUILD PROCEDURE

cc -o filebenchmark filebenchmark.c -lm -lpthread -std=gnu99

EXAMPLES

filebenchmark c /tmp/testfolder file_ 10000 3 5 0 0

	This command will create directories t_0, t_1, t_2 in /tmp/testfolder
	It will launch 3 threads, each creating 10000 files in one of these directories
	Every thread will report how many files it has created every 5 seconds
	Every file will have 0 bytes size

VERSION 1.0 (Dec, 5 2018) First implementation, empty files generator 2.0 (May, 29 2019) Added support for non-empty files creation
