2=== This is the QEMU I/O test suite ===
3
4* Intro
5
6This package contains a simple test suite for the I/O layer of qemu.
7It does not require a guest, but only the qemu, qemu-img and qemu-io
8binaries.  This does limit it to exercise the low-level I/O path only
9but no actual block drivers like ide, scsi or virtio.

11* Usage
12
13Just run ./check to run all tests for the raw image format, or ./check
14-qcow2 to test the qcow2 image format.  The output of ./check -h explains
15additional options to test further image formats or I/O methods.
