/* Description of test intent.
The test creates NUM_THREADS threads for reading and writing to the
prepared file. The prepared file contains 'NUM_THREADS - 1' bytes
where each byte is unique number from 0 to 'NUM_THREADS - 2'. If all
operations are correctly multi-threaded safe then all concurent read
operations should succeed and read a unique 1 byte value. The last
thread to read should get an EOF. In concurrent write, all write
operations should succeed and the file should contain all unique 1
byte values from 0 to 'NUM_THREADS - 1'. Both concurrent read and
concurrent write tests are repeated ITERS times to increase
the probability of detecting concurrency issues. */
