LAT_SIG(8)

💅 LAT_SIG — okay bestie, let's talk signal latency ✨

lat_sig from the LMBENCH fam 💖 — yes that's the manual name, we're just folding it in here so you're not confused later, mwah.

🎀 NAME 🎀

lat_sig — select benchmark 🌸

Like, it's the signal-selecting benchmark, iykyk.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

lat_ctx [ -P <parallelism> ] [ -W <warmups> ] [ -N <repetitions> ]
install|catch|prot [ file ]

Okay so real talk — yes, the synopsis says lat_ctx and not lat_sig. That is <em>literally</em> what it says, so I'm keeping it exactly as-is. No cap. Do not come for me 🙈.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

lat_sig measures the time to install and catch signals. 🔥

It can also measure the time to catch a protection fault. The way that it just does both?? Versatile queen 👑.
