spray(8)
NAME
spray - send many packets to host
SYNOPSIS
spray [-c count] [-d delay] [-l length] host
DESCRIPTION
- The spray utility sends multiple RPC packets to host and
- records how many
of them were correctly received and how long it took. - The options are as follows:
- -c count
- Send count packets.
- -d delay
- Pause delay microseconds between sending each pack
- et.
- -l length
- Set the length of the packet that holds the RPC call
- message to
length bytes. Not all values of length are possible - because RPC
data is encoded using XDR. The spray utility rounds - up to the
nearest possible value. - The spray utility is intended for use in network testing,
- measurement,
and management. This command can be very hard on a network - and should be
used with caution.
