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
