Add CL args to control file system dir naming about macsio HOT 5 OPEN

Hmm....it is designed to be very frugal w.r.t. to log files and I see only two from macsio itself there macsio-log.log and macsio-timings.log. All the other .silo files are data files probably run in file-per-processor mode. Changing command-line arguments regarding -parallel_file_mode MIF affects this. Or, for those plugins that support single-shared-file like HDF5 plugin, using -parallel_file_mode SIF.

Am I miss-understanding your question?

Sorry for the unclear part. What I wanted to say are those .silo files. By command-line arguments, is there a way to put them into another directory instead of the current directory? They make the current directory kinda messy

Ok, yeah, I get you. Currently, we don't support that. We should probably operate that way by default and maybe provide a CL arg. to override it.

I've modified the issue heading to reflect the desired enhancement.

Hi just want to check how's this issue going now. I want to run Macsio with Burst Buffers on Summit. I can write or read files in the burst buffer directory, but I cannot directly cd into the burst buffer directory. Therefore, if I want macsio to do I/O in that directory, I need to pass the directory to Macsio.
