18The directory consists of following:
19 diotest_routines.c: Routines to support the test programs.
20 diotest[1-6].c: 6 test programs with 30 test blocks.
21 Makefile: To compile the programs.
22
23To run the programs:
24 1: Compile the programs
25 $ make
26 2: Execute the test script or the test programs individually.
27 $ ./diorun
28 Creates a "logfile" by default under current directory.

371: The script diorun gives different ways to run the tests. Add additional
38 test cases as needed.
392: For diotest3.c and diotest6.c fails randomly with a number of children
40 for bigger runs. The test fail with either data comparaision failures
41 or input/output errors during read. Two issues are identified with
42 buffered/direct read, write coherence and the problem is reported.
