.SH NAME

syd-fork - Fork fast in an infinite loop.\&
.PP
.SH SYNOPSIS
.PP
\fBsyd-fork\fR \fI[-h]\fR
.PP
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
If no arguments are provided, the program will quickly create an
infinite number of child processes through forking.\& This is implemented
using inline assembly on x86, x86_64, arm, and aarch64 architectures,
making it significantly faster and more efficient than the bash fork
bomb.\&
.PP
When the \fB-h\fR flag is passed, a warning message will be displayed
advising that this program is intended for stress-testing the pid
limiter and should not be used for any other purpose.\& It is not intended
to be used as a joke and should be used with caution.\& Use of the program
is at the user'\&s own risk.\& To stress-test the pid limiter, run the
program with no arguments.\& The program will quickly create an infinite
number of child processes through forking and it will quickly reach the
maximum number of processes that the system can handle.\&

.SH EXAMPLES
.PP
To run syd-fork on April 1st at 8:00 AM UTC, you can use the \fIat\fR(1) command.\& This
is useful for scheduling the program to execute at a specific time for testing
or demonstration purposes.\& Ensure that the \fIat(1)\fR daemon is running on your system
and that you have permission to schedule jobs with \fIat\fR(1).\&
