-    fio-wrapper
-    ===========
-
-    The intent is to be able to do tie fio into testing infra and to have a means of
-    ensuring that "benchmark" can be performed in a reproducible manner.
-
-    It does so by constructing an transforming a dictionary of parameters and
-    environment variables. This is done via:
-
-    * fio(cijoe, parameters="", env={}): invoke fio as defined in cijoe.config.options
-
-    Then **chaining** of the parameter construction is done, such that it is possible to
-    control certain job-parameters depending on the device, I/O engine, and I/O engine
-    options.
-    For example, we might wish to run fio with ``--direct=1``, however, when sending
-    that same job to e.g. ``/dev/ng0n1`` (the char-device encapsulating an NVMe
-    namespace), then ``--direct=1`` is invalid.
-    Such a transformation is then done when seeing that the device is an NVMe chardev.
