Rob Landley0e4690d2006-08-20 22:12:18 +0000553 subsequent reads on these files will not block on disk I/O.
554
555 This applet just calls the readahead(2) system call on each file.
556 It is mainly useful in system startup scripts to preload files
Bernhard Reutner-Fischer3e8669f2008-07-22 18:27:53 +0000557 or executables before they are used. When used at the right time
Denis Vlasenkob15ebe42008-04-13 22:41:27 +0000558 (in particular when a CPU bound process is running) it can
Rob Landley0e4690d2006-08-20 22:12:18 +0000559 significantly speed up system startup.
560
561 As readahead(2) blocks until each file has been read, it is best to
Denis Vlasenko9213a9e2006-09-17 16:28:10 +0000562 run this applet as a background job.
