.SH DESCRIPTION
-iowatcher graphs the results of a blktrace run. It can graph the result o˙ an existing blktrace, start a new blktrace, or start a new blktrace and ažnchmark run. It can then create an image or movie of the IO from a give˙ trace. iowatcher can produce either SVG files or movies in mp4 format (w˙th ffmpeg) or ogg format (with png2theora).
