SDRANGELBENCH(1)

📦 version 7.27.2, in ubuntu stonking

💖 SDRangelBench 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the SDRangelBench(1) manual page — it's the benchmarking tool that ships with SDRangel, and yeah, she's a command-line girlie through and through. no windows, no buttons, just vibes and numbers. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

sdrangelbench [options]

that's it. that's the whole entrance. no positional arguments, just you, your terminal, and a lil pile of flags. periodt. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Software Defined Radio application benchmarks — that's the ✨official✨ word. fr fr, this is the thing you run when you wanna know how fast your SDR setup actually goes. it's giving "let's measure things and be dramatic about the results". 📊✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

one bullet per flag, no skips, no skipping, because every single one matters. 👑

  • -h, --help — shows you the help for the command-line options. your lil "what do i do" button. 🫶
  • --help-all — same energy as --help, except it also spills the tea on all the generic Qt options. yes, Qt is in the building too. 💀
  • -v, --version — prints the version info, so you always know which era of SDRangelBench you're living in. ⭐
  • -t, --test <test> — the test type, bestie, the main character of this whole operation. pick your fighter:
    • decimateii
    • decimatefi
    • decimateff
    • decimateif
    • decimateinfii
    • decimatesupii
    • ambe
    • golay2312
    • ft8
    • ft4
    • ft8protocols
    • callsign
    • fftrrcfilter
    • firrrcfilter
    • meshtastic

that's fifteen options and i am obsessed with every single one. 🌈✨

  • -n, --nb-samples <samples> — how many samples you wanna deal with. more samples = more chaos = more data. 🍓
  • -r, --repeat <repetition> — the number of repetitions. because one run is cute but multiple runs is science. 🔁
  • -l, --log2-factor <log2> — the log2 factor for rate conversion. it's log2, so it's math-y, so it's iconic. 📐💜
  • -f, --file <file> — the file to be used for the test. your lil sample source, your lil data supply. give her something to chew on. 📁
  • -a, --args <args> — a custom arguments string to be used for the test. this is your "i got extra notes" flag. write whatever custom string the test needs, and be free. 🦋
heads up bestie: <file> and <args> are literally named file and args — they're placeholders for what you pass in. don't type the angle brackets, i'm begging. 😭

👑 THE VIBE CHECK 👑

so real talk: this page gives you the flags, and that's genuinely all she wrote. no exit statuses listed, no environment variables, no files section, no bugs section, no SEE ALSO. this manpage keeps it short and mysterious, and honestly? respect. 🙈

run it with --help, pick a --test, feed it --nb-samples, and let her cook. 🔥
