Templates

New Bonnie configurations can be created very quickly and efficiently with bonnie -i. This uses a pre-programmed default normally, but it can also be instructed to use a template by running bonnie -i --template /path/to/your/template/file instead. These templates are NOT checked for their validity, so you can put placeholders or whatever you want in there.

Global templates have been requested by the community as a method of allowing essentially global configuration while maintaining the portability and predictability of individual file configurations. The documentation for this feature will be added once it has been finalized.
