This package provides two tools for manipulating the IO scheduler:

fincore is a command that shows which pages (blocks) of a file are in core
memory. It is particularly useful for determining the contents of the
buffer-cache.

fadvise is a command used to give file advisory information to the operating
system. Its "--dontneed" option is particularly useful in that it causes the
files' pages (blocks) to be evicted from the buffer-cache.
