LAT_SELECT(8)

💅 LAT_SELECT(8) — the select benchmark, bestie

okay so we're in the LMBENCH manual, and this lil page is about lat_select. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, it's literally so short and so cute.

✨ NAME ✨

lat_select — the select benchmark 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

lat_ctx [ -P <parallelism> ] [ -W <warmups> ] [ -N <repetitions> ] [ n ]

🙈 and yes, that is exactly what it says — we are not editing a single character of it, no cap. copy-paste this verbatim or perish.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

lat_select measures the time to do a select on n file descriptors. that's it. that's the whole vibe. you give it n, it times the select, and you get a number. iconic behaviour honestly 💖

💀 one (1) quick note from your girl: the synopsis up there is lat_ctx and not lat_select, and I am not touching it — the manual says what the manual says, and I keep every detail exactly as written. no notes, no edits, no "fixing". 💅

and that's the whole page, bestie — you ate it, you understood it, you're the main character of this benchmark ✨
