spray(8) BSD System Manager's Manual spray(8)
NAME
spray -- send many packets to host
SYNOPSIS
spray [-c count] [-d delay] [-l length] host ...
DESCRIPTION
Spray 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 packet.
-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. Spray rounds up to the nearest possi-
ble value.
Spray is intended for use in network testing, measurement, and manage-
ment. This command can be very hard on a network and should be used with
caution.
