The spray
utility sends multiple RPC packets to
host and records how many of them were correctly
received and how long it took.
The options are as follows:
-c
count
- Send count packets.
-d
delay
- Pause delay microseconds between sending each
packet.
-l
length
- Set the length of the packet that holds the RPC call message to
length bytes. Not all values of
length are possible because RPC data is encoded
using XDR. The
spray
utility rounds up to the
nearest possible value.
The spray
utility is intended for use in
network testing, measurement, and management. This command can
be very hard on a network and should be used with caution.
