NAME
     sysbench -	A system-level benchmarking tool

SYNOPSIS
     sysbench  [general-options]...  [--test=<test-name>]  [test-
     options]... command

DESCRIPTION
     The sysbench program is  a	 a  modular,  cross-platform  and
     multi-threaded  benchmark	tool for evaluating OS parameters
     that are important	for a system  running  a  database  under
     intensive load.

     The idea of this  benchmark  suite	 is  to	 quickly  get  an
     impression	 about system performance without setting up com-
     plex database benchmarks or even without installing a  data-
     base at all.

     Current features  allow  testing  of  the	following  system
     parameters:

	 * file	I/O performance
	 * scheduler performance
	 * memory allocation and transfer speed
	 * POSIX threads implementation	performance
	 * database server performance (OLTP benchmark)

     Full documentation	can be found at	the  project  home  page:
     http://sysbench.sourceforge.net/


OPTIONS
     The following general options are supported:
       --num-threads=N		  number of threads to use [1]
       --max-requests=N		   limit  for  total  number   of
     requests [10000]
       --max-time=N		  limit	for total execution  time
     in	seconds	[0]
       --thread-stack-size=SIZE	  size of stack	per thread [32K]
       --init-rng=[on|off]	  initialize random  number  gen-
     erator [off]
       --test=STRING		  test to run
       --debug=[on|off]		  print	more debugging info [off]
       --validate=[on|off]	  perform validation checks where
     possible [off]
       --help=[on|off]		  print	help and exit
       --version=[on|off]	  print	version	and exit

     The compiled-in tests are:
       fileio -	File I/O test
       cpu - CPU performance test
       memory -	Memory functions speed test
