diodload(8)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, meet diodload — from the diod manual, section 8 — and her whole job is literally create artificial diod load 💅✨.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

diodload [OPTIONS] [-s NAME]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so diodload connects to a diod server and issues requests. that's the vibe. unless you change it with -g, each thread copies from ctl:zero to ctl:null 🌀.

bestie warning: the ctl synthetic file system has to be explicitly exported — no cap, it's a whole thing 💀

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -s, --server _NAME_ — tells her which server to hit, in IP[:PORT], HOST[:PORT], or /path/to/socket form. default is localhost:564 — yes, that's the one, bestie 🫶
• -m, --msize _SIZE_ — sets the maximum size of a protocol unit (default 65536). iconic number, don't touch it 💖
• -r, --runtime _SECS_ — how long it runs, in seconds (default 10). short queen runtime but okay ⏱️
• -n, --numthreads _NUM_ — how many concurrent threads are out here making requests (default 16). team effort, fr fr 🧚
• -g, --getattr — instead of the default load, issue a whole stream of getattrs on ctl:null 🔥. it's giving alternative plans.

okay bye bestie 🫶 — cute footer sign-off: this page is from diod, version 1.0-pre27-516-g0d87511, manual tag diodload(8); the original footer doesn't give a separate date, so I'm not inventing one, periodt 💀✨
