- <a class="citerefentry" href="samba.7.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">samba</span>(7)</span></a> suite.</p><p>This module assists applications that want to read numbered
- files in sequence with very strict latency requirements. One area
- where this happens in video streaming applications that want to read
- one file per frame.</p><p>When you use this module, a number of helper processes is
- started that speculatively open files and read a number of bytes to
- prime the file system cache, so that later on when the real
- application's request comes along, no disk access is necessary.</p><p>This module is stackable.</p></div><div class="refsect1" title="OPTIONS"><a name="id266829"></a><h2>OPTIONS</h2><div class="variablelist"><dl><dt><span class="term">preopen:names = /pattern/</span></dt><dd><p>
- preopen:names specifies the file name pattern which should
- trigger the preopen helpers to do their work. We assume that
- the files are numbered incrementally. So if your file names
- are numbered FRAME00000.frm FRAME00001.frm and so on you would
- list them as <code class="literal">preopen:names=/FRAME*.frm/</code>
- </p></dd><dt><span class="term">preopen:num_bytes = BYTES</span></dt><dd><p>
- Specifies the number of bytes the helpers should speculatively
- read, defaults to 1.
- </p></dd><dt><span class="term">preopen:helpers = NUM-PROCS</span></dt><dd><p>
- Number of forked helper processes, defaults to 1.
- </p></dd><dt><span class="term">preopen:queuelen = NUM-FILES</span></dt><dd><p>
- Number of files that should be speculatively opened. Defaults
- to the 10 subsequent files.
