LAT_MMAP(8)			    LMBENCH			   LAT_MMAP(8)

NAME
       lat_mmap	- costs	of mmapping and	unmmapping varying file	sizes

SYNOPSIS
       lat_mmap	 [  -P	<parallelism>  ] [ -W <warmups>	] [ -N <repetitions> ]
       size file

DESCRIPTION
       lat_mmap	times how fast a mapping can be	made and unmade.  This is use-
       ful because it is a fundemental part of processes that use SunOS	 style
       shared  libraries (the libraries	are mapped in at process start up time
       and unmapped at process exit).

       The benchmark maps in and unmaps	the first size bytes of	the  file  re-
       peatedly	and reports the	average	time for one mapping/unmapping.

       The size	specification may end with ``k'' or ``m'' to mean kilobytes (*
       1024) or	megabytes (* 1024 * 1024).

OUTPUT
       Output format is	"%0.2f %d\n", megabytes, usecs,	i.e.,

       8.00 1200

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
       Funding	for the	development of this tool was provided by Sun Microsys-
       tems Computer Corporation.
