     18 The directory consists of follwing:
     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 
     23 To 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.
     29 		For any failures, look in the logfile for more information.
     30 
     31 		OR
     32 
     33 		$ <testprogram-name> [options]

     35 Note:
     36 -----
     37 1: The script diorun gives different ways to run the tests. Add additional
     38    test cases as needed.
     39 2: 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.
