Purpose: The project describes itself as a simple disk benchmark tool.
Benchmark types: It can run read tests, write tests, or both.
Benchmark controls: Options let users set the test file size, block size, cycle count, and random seeking.
Results: The tool displays a bar chart of run timings and can export timing summaries and individual run timings as JSON.
Cache handling: The README says macOS uses F_NO_CACHE and F_GLOBAL_NOCACHE and Linux uses O_DIRECT to bypass the filesystem cache.
Installation: It can be installed with Cargo on all platforms or through Homebrew on macOS.
Platform support: macOS and Linux are tested; Windows support is limited, with unit tests passing but no other testing or validation stated.
File behavior: The benchmark creates a file of the specified size, and an existing file at the chosen path will be deleted.
File options: Options can keep the test file after the run, skip creating it, and control whether it is closed between cycles.
License: The repository identifies the software as MIT licensed.
Integrations: The README suggests piping JSON output to jq or csvkit for CSV use.
Support: The repository shows zero open issues and does not state a support policy.
Development status: The README lists multithreaded benchmarking, volume information, and more documentation among its TODOs.
