✨ LAT_FCNTL — wait, hold on, bestie, let me tell you what this page is ✨

okay so this is a page from the LMBENCH manual, and the tool it's nominally about is called lat_fcntl — an fcntl file locking benchmark. 💅 that's the NAME, that's the vibe, that's the whole thing.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

fr fr here's how you call it:

lat_ctx [ -d ] [ -e ] [ -S ] serverhost [ port ]

yes. that's lat_ctx up there. i'm not gonna pretend otherwise, i'm just gonna report what the page says, and the page says lat_ctx. no cap. 🦋

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so plot twist, bestie: lat_http is a client/server program that measures simple http transaction latencies. ✨

it's got its own HTTP server, like, it's self-contained — it does NOT care about your third-party HTTP servers, and it is not here to measure how fast those are. it's literally just measuring the minimum overall costs of simple HTTP GET transactions. minimum. overall. costs. periodt. 👑

the client's whole personality is: it makes a series of HTTP GET requests for files. the files are a fixed set of files included with the benchmark. 🌸 and ngl, no special care was made to ensure that the file sizes match and predetermined distribution. that's just what it is. 🙈

🌈 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 🌈

comments, suggestions, and bug reports are always welcome. 🥺 genuinely, they want to hear from you, bestie, that's iconic.

💀 one tiny heads-up so nobody gets got: this page's NAME says lat_fcntl, but the SYNOPSIS says lat_ctx and the DESCRIPTION is all about lat_http. i'm not fixing it, i'm not merging it, i'm not guessing at what it "should" say — i'm just handing you exactly what's on the page. that's the assignment. 🎀

and that's the whole thing!! 💖 copyright (c)1994-2000 Carl Staelin and Lar..., dated $Date$, and the page is LAT_FCNTL(8) from the LMBENCH manual. bye bestie, go benchmark something responsibly. 🦋✨
