Commands implemented by most tests: prepare run cleanup help
General options:
 --threads=N           number of threads to use [1]

 --rand-spec-iter=N number of iterations used for numbers generation [12]
 --rand-spec-pct=N percentage of values to be treated as 'special' (for special distribution) [1]
 --rand-spec-res=N percentage of 'special' values to use (for special distribution) [75]
 --rand-seed=N   seed for random number generator. When 0, the current time is used as a RNG seed. [0]
 --rand-pareto-h=N parameter h for pareto distribution [0.2]
Log options:
 --verbosity=N verbosity level {5 - debug, 0 - only critical messages} [3]
 --percentile=N    percentile to calculate in latency statistics (1-100). Use the special value of 0 to disable percentile calculations [95]
 --histogram[=on|off] print latency histogram in report [off]
