-q quitOnError option is now --warningAsErrors user guide is outdated

Hi, the -q quitOnError option is no longer supported and leads to an unrecognized option error. I'am fine with the change also with ior behavior, but it is still noted in the user doc. Maybe you might want to update the user guide.

Agreed, the user doc should be updated. Note that these options do something slightly different. The -q option only stopped during buffercomparison (any error during a read or write check), while the --warningAsErrors option stops on an IOR warning (which includes read or write check). The reason is that warnings are often involved in performance changing behavior.

So what is the default behavior now? Like -q was specified, or not?

the --warningAsErrors option stops on an IOR warning (which includes read or write check)

If this implies the default is now as though -q was not specified, what if I want to stop on read/write check errors, but not on "performance changing behavior"?
