NAME

       cyclictest - Xenomai high resolution timer test

SYNOPSIS

       cyclictest [options]

DESCRIPTION

       cyclictest is part of the Xenomai test suite and tests the POSIX skin of Xenomai with a cyclic timer test.

       For this program to work, you need to run a suitable Xenomai enabled kernel with the respective module (xeno_posix).

OPTIONS

       cyclictest accepts the following options:

       -b USEC, --breaktrace=USEC
	      send break trace command when latency > USEC

       -c CLOCK, --clock=CLOCK
	      select clock:
		      0 = CLOCK_MONOTONIC (default)

		      1 = CLOCK_REALTIME

       -d DIST, --distance=DIST
	      distance of thread intervals in us default=500

       -i INTV, --interval=INTV
	      base interval of thread in us default=1000

       -l LOOPS, --loops=LOOPS
	      number of loops: default=0 (endless)

       -n, --nanosleep
	      use clock_nanosleep

       -p PRIO, --prio=PRIO
	      priority of highest prio thread

       -q, --quiet
	      print only a summary on exit

       -r, --relative
	      use relative timer instead of absolute

       -t NUM, --threads=NUM
	      number of threads: default=1

       -v, --verbose
	      output values on stdout for statistics

	      format: n:c:v n=tasknum c=count v=value in us
