Description : dt is a generic data test program used to verify proper operation of
: peripherals, file systems, device drivers, or any data stream supported by the
: operating system. In its' simplest mode of operation, dt writes and then
: verifies its' default data pattern, then displays performance statistics and
: other test parameters before exiting. Since verification of data is performed,
: dt can be thought of as a generic diagnostic tool.
:
: dt command lines are similar to the dd program, which is popular on most UNIX
: systems. It contains numerous options to give the user control of various test
: parameters.

: dt has been used to successfully test disks, tapes, serial lines, parallel
: lines, pipes, and memory mapped files. In fact, dt can be used for any device
: that allows the standard open, read, write, and close system calls. Special
: support is necessary for some devices, such as serial lines, for setting up the
: speed, parity, data bits, etc.
