NAME
     swamp - SSL/TLS load-tester based on OpenSSL

SYNOPSIS
     swamp -connect <address> [options]

DESCRIPTION
     swamp  is	a  utility  that  can  be  used to test and/or benchmark SSL/TLS
     servers. It is quite configurable and allows for various different  charac-
     teristics of the server's behaviour to be tested.

OPTIONS
     -connect address
	 Configures  the address to which swamp should connect for outgoing con-
	 nections, using the syntax defined by the libnal API. For connecting to
	 TCP/IP addresses, the syntax is illustrated below (you may use  an  ex-
	 plicit IP address or a host name);

	     # swamp -connect IP:192.168.0.1:443
	     # swamp -connect IP:www.localnet:443

	 To connect to an SSL/TLS server on a unix domain socket, the syntax is;

	     # swamp -connect UNIX:/path/to/some/socket

     -h, -help, -?
	 Any of these flags will cause swamp to display a brief usage summary to
	 the console and exit cleanly. Any other flags are ignored.

BUGS
     This man page is utterly incomplete.

AUTHOR
     Swamp was designed and implemented by Geoff Thorpe.  Steve  Robb  has  con-
     tributed  numerous  tweaks  and fixes along the way too. To consolidate re-
     sources and provide an improved  framework  for  ongoing  development,  the
     swamp  utility was made a component of the distcache project in 2003 (swamp
     happens to be the ideal tool for testing distcache's most	common	usage  -
     secure web servers).
