bench(8)bench(8)NAMEbench - http benchmark
SYNOPSISbench [-n requests] [-c concurrency] [-t timeout] [-k] [-K count]
[-C cookie-file] [http://]host[:port]/uri
DESCRIPTIONbench is a HTTP benchmark program that can fetch the same URL over and
over again, or fetch several URLs (coming in from stdin).
If you specify a URL on the command line, this URL will be fetch many
times (specify with -n, default: 10000) with several connections open
in parallen (specify with -c, default: 10).
You can specify a timeout (per request) in seconds with -t.
The -k switch activates keep-alive mode. In keep-alive mode, the TCP
connection is not closed between requests. You also have to specify
how many HTTP requests can go over one TCP connection with -K.
bench can also send one HTTP cookie per connection, as specified using
a cookie file. The cookie file is read line by line, and each request
gets the next line inserted into it. So each line should look some‐
thing like this:
Cookie: foo=bar
If the end of the file is reached, bench restarts it at the beginning.
