+ <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
+ <para>
+ ping_pong measures the byte range lock latency. It is especially
+ useful on a cluster of nodes sharing a common lock manager as it
+ will give some indication of the lock manager's performance
+ under stress.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ FILENAME is a file on shared storage to use for byte range
+ locking tests.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ NUM-LOCKS is the number of byte range locks, so needs to be
+ (strictly) greater than the number of nodes in the cluster.
