NAME
     spray -- send many packets to host

SYNOPSIS
     spray [-c count] [-d delay] [-l length] host

DESCRIPTION
     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.
