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
       characteristics of the server's behaviour to be tested.

OPTIONS
       -connect	address
	   Configures  the  address to which swamp should connect for outgoing
	   connections,	using the syntax defined by the	libnal API.  For  con-
	   necting  to	TCP/IP addresses, the syntax is	illustrated below (you
	   may use an explicit 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  sum-
	   mary	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
       resources  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).
