NAME
       memslap - libmemcached Documentation

SYNOPSIS
       memslap [options]

       Load testing and benchmarking a server

DESCRIPTION
       memslap is a load generation and benchmark tool for memcached(1)
       servers. It generates configurable workload such as threads,
       concurrencies, connections, run time, overwrite, miss rate, key size,
       value size, get/set proportion, expected throughput, and so on.

ENVIRONMENT

       MEMCACHED_SERVERS
              Specify a list of servers.

NOTES
   PROGRAM PREFIX
       The prefix of this program is variable, i.e. it can be configured at
       build time.

       Usually the client programs of libmemcached-awesome are prefixed with
       mem, like memcat or memcp.

       It can be configured, though, to replace the prefix with something else
       like mc, in case of that, the client programs of libmemcached-awesome
       would be called mccat, mccp, etc. respectively.
