The \texttt{btrecord} and \texttt{btreplay} tools provide the ability to
record and replay IOs captured by the \texttt{blktrace} utility. Attempts
are made to maintain ordering, CPU mappings and time-separation of IOs. The
general workflow is expected to be:
\begin{enumerate}
\item Initiate \texttt{blktrace} to capture traces
\item Generate traces\ldots
\item Stop \texttt{blktrace}
\item Run \texttt{btrecord} to convert traces into IO records
\item Utilize \texttt{btreplay} to replay IOs
\end{enumerate}
This document will discuss the operating characteristics of
\texttt{btreplay} and provide detailed command line option descriptions.
