NAME

       lat_unix_connect - measure interprocess connection latency via UNIX sockets

SYNOPSIS

       lat_unix_connect -s
       lat_unix_connect [ -P <parallelism> ] [ -W <warmups> ] [ -N <repetitions> ]
       lat_unix_connect -S

DESCRIPTION

       lat_unix_connect   is  a  client/server  program  that  measures  interprocess  connection
       latencies.   The benchmark times the creation and connection of an  AF_UNIX  socket  to  a
       local server.

       lat_connect  has three forms of usage: as a server (-s), as a client (lat_connect), and as
       a shutdown (lat_connect -S).

OUTPUT

       The reported time is in microseconds per connection.  Output format is like so

       UNIX connection cost: 1006 microseconds
