NAME
     spray -- send many packets to host

SYNOPSIS
     spray [-c count] [-d delay] [-l length] host ...

DESCRIPTION
     Spray sends multiple RPC packets to host and records how many of them were correctly received and how long it took.

     The options are as follows:

     -c count
	     Send count packets.

     -d delay
	     Pause delay microseconds between sending each packet.

     -l length
	     Set the length of the packet that holds the RPC call message to length bytes.  Not all values of length are possible because RPC data
	     is encoded using XDR.  Spray rounds up to the nearest possible value.

     Spray is intended for use in network testing, measurement, and management.  This command can be very hard on a network and should be used
     with caution.
