🌸 flowgrind-stop — the Flowgrind Manual 💖

okay bestie, sit down, we're talking about flowgrind-stop, part of the Flowgrind Manual situation, and honestly? it's giving "tiny tool, huge main character energy" ✨

✨ NAME ✨

flowgrind-stop — the helper tool for the advanced TCP traffic generator flowgrind 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

flowgrind-stop [OPTION]... [ADDRESS]...

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so flowgrind-stop is a little helper bestie for the advanced TCP traffic generator flowgrind(1). literally its whole job 💖

with flowgrind-stop you can tell any flowgrindd(1) daemon to terminate all active flows. no cap. all of them.

and why would you want that? because if the controller loses connection with the daemons, you're kinda stuck watching tests run forever 😭 so this is your emergency "okay everybody go home" button — perfect for stopping all tests when the controller and the daemons aren't talking anymore. iconic behavior honestly 👑

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

quick vibe check: mandatory arguments to long options are also mandatory for short options too, so don't try to be cute and skip them 💀

• -h, --help — shows you this help and then dips out. bye! 👋
• -v, --version — prints the version info and exits. slay. ✨

🍓 EXAMPLE 🍓

here's the whole vibe in one line, bestie:

flowgrind-stop localhost 127.2.3.4:5999 example.com
