Run a simple sequential I/O benchmark on the specified image. If @code{-w} is
specified, a write test is performed, otherwise a read test is performed.
A total number of @var{count} I/O requests is performed, each @var{buffer_size}
-bytes in size, and with @var{depth} requests in parallel.
+bytes in size, and with @var{depth} requests in parallel. The first request
+starts at the position given by @var{offset}.
If @code{-n} is specified, the native AIO backend is used if possible. On
Linux, this option only works if @code{-t none} or @code{-t directsync} is
