circuits.bench3(1)

💖 circuits.bench3 — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is the manual page for circuits.bench3(1), a lil' User Command from the circuits library fam. she's a benchmarking girlie. she does not do much else. and honestly? iconic of her.

✨ NAME ✨

circuits.bench3 — simple benchmaking of the circuits library

(yes it says "benchmaking". we don't fix it. we respect the original. no cap.)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

circuits.bench3 [options]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. options only, bestie, no positional args, no drama.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so circuits.bench3 does some simple benchmaking of the circuits library. that's literally the entire job description. she benches. she makes. she does it simply. periodt. 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

okay here's the part you actually came for. every single flag, no skips, no shortcuts, we ate this list whole:

• -b address:[port] — bind to address:[port] (UDP) so you can test remote events. the default address is 0.0.0.0, aka "yes hi I live everywhere".
• -c integer — set the concurrency level to integer. default is 1, so like, one girl doing everything. multitask only if you ask nicely.
• -d — enable debug mode. turn it on and let her yap about what's happening internally.
• -e number — stop after the specified number of events. default is 0.
• -f number — number of dummy events to fill the queue with. default is 0. fake events for the fake-event girlies.
• -l — listen on 0.0.0.0:8000 (UDP) to test remote events. just press play and vibe, it's giving "come find me".
• -m mode — set the operation mode. mode can be latency, speed or sync. default mode is speed. three modes, three moods.
• -o format — specify the output format. for example format can be: "cicuits.bench: events:%s, speed:%s, time:%s"

ok bestie I know, it says cicuits and not circuits. that's what the original says, so that's what you get. copy it exactly or it won't do the thing. 🙈

• -p — enable execution profiling support. numbers on numbers, we love to see it.
• -q — suppress output. quiet mode. she's not talking to you rn, and that's valid.
• -s — enable psyco (circuits on speed!) if it is available. "circuits on speed!" is the actual official description and I will not be rephrasing perfection. 🔥
• -t seconds — stop after the specified elapsed seconds. a little timer, a little deadline, very main character.
• -w — wait for remote nodes to connect. she'll stand there with the door open. patiently. forever, probably.
• --version — output version information and exit. boom, version, bye. 👑

and that's the whole page, bestie. it's from circuits version 2.0.2, dated Jun 2011, so yeah she's an elder but she still slays. 🫶✨🌸
