+Description: |
+ The nocache tool tries to minimize the effect an application has on the Linux
+ file system cache. This is done by intercepting the open and close system calls
+ and calling posix_fadvise with the POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED parameter.
+ Because the library remembers which pages (ie., 4K-blocks of the file) were
+ already in file system cache when the file was opened, these will not be
+ marked as "don't need", because other applications might need that,
+ although they are not actively used (think: hot standby).
+
+ Use case: backup processes that should not interfere with the present state of the cache.
