✨ dahdi_test(8) ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because we're about to talk about the system manager's manual entry for dahdi_test 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

dahdi_test — Test if the DAHDI timer provides timely response

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

dahdi_test [ -v ]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so dahdi_test runs a timing test in a loop and prints the result of each loop. it's literally that simple, no cap. here's what the test actually does:

it reads 8192 bytes from the DAHDI timer device (/dev/dahdi/pseudo). this should take exactly 8000 ms. like, exactly. it uses calls to gettimeofday(2) before and after that read to check that indeed exactly 8000ms have passed. it's giving stopwatch energy ⏱️

now for the vibe check on your numbers:

• Values of 100% and 99.99% are normally considered a definite pass 👑
• Values of 99.98% and 99.97% are probably OK as well 🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -v — Be more verbose: print one line per test. main character energy, but for output ✨
• -c count — Run for count times instead of running forever. because sometimes you don't want infinity, you want a limit 🧚

🍓 FILES 🍓

• /dev/dahdi/pseudo — The device file used to access the DAHDI timer.
