Create multiple files of various sizes and content.

Blobs - Generate files of various sizes.

Use Blobs to create files of various sizes in bytes, megabytes, gigabytes, and terabytes.

Usage

Specify the content of the blob via stdin.

Provide the data unit (unit), number of files (amount), destination (dest), and the file name format (o):

echo "foobar" | go run main.go --unit="MB" --amount=2 --dest="./tmp" --o="FILE_%d.dat"

Flags

unit - string flag, the unit of data to be created. Valid values are MB, GB, TB, KB, and B. Case sensitive for now. Default = "MB"

amount - An integer flag of the number of files to be created. Default = 1

dest - A string flag, the directory path of the output. Default = "./"

o - A string flag to specify the file name format. The %d format specifier will denote the number sequence of the file. Default = "%d.dat"

TODO

• Error checking and handling for flags and other values
• Improved configuration parsing
