If you type something like,: set $iosize=mumble,
it will give you a warning and not do anything. However, you can type:
set $iosize.gamma=<new gamma value>, for instance, to set a new gamma
value. Perhaps I should add the options that make sense to the "usage"
field. I thought about printing more of the default parameters out but
that would get rather messy. Hmmm, I guess I could allow individual
parameters to be accessed with $<name>.<parameter>, so a couple lines like:
usage " set \$iosize.min=<minum> defaults to $iosize.min"
usage " set \$iosize.gamma=<gamma> defaults to $iosize.gamma"
which would print out as:
set $iosize.min=<minum> defaults to 1024
set $iosize.gamma=<gamma> defaults to 1500
That way the workload's author could only include parameters that make
sense for the particular workload.
Comments?
