 Optional:
 
 - rate_iops - limit IOPS to this number
+- offset - bool; enable offseting of the IO to the file. When this option is
+  enabled the file is "split" into a number of chunks equal to "num_jobs"
+  parameter value, and each "num_jobs" fio thread gets it's own chunk to
+  work with.
+  For more detail see "offset", "offset_increment" and "size" in fio man
+  pages. Default: false.
+- offset_inc - int; Percentage value determining the offset, size and
+  offset_increment when "offset" option is enabled. By default if "offset"
+  is enabled fio file will get split evenly between fio threads doing the
+  IO. Offset_inc can be used to specify a custom value.
