From what my very rusty C skills and the source tell me, it appears the terse output gives the same values as the regular output. The only difference being that the terse output cannot skip the brackets that have no hits. So I believe the values can be derived from this block of code from the source: static void show_lat_u(double *io_u_lat_u) { const char *ranges[] = { "2=", "4=", "10=", "20=", "50=", "100=", "250=", "500=", "750=", "1000=", }; show_lat(io_u_lat_u, FIO_IO_U_LAT_U_NR, ranges, "usec"); } static void show_lat_m(double *io_u_lat_m) { const char *ranges[] = { "2=", "4=", "10=", "20=", "50=", "100=", "250=", "500=", "750=", "1000=", "2000=", ">=2000=", }; In which case, the documentation should probably be updated to reflect that. Can anyone familiar with the code confirm this?
