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 con-
     nection  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
