anevicon 4.1.2
Temirkhan Myrzamadi <gymmasssorla@gmail.com>
An UDP-based server stress-testing tool, written in Rust.

USAGE:
    anevicon [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] --receiver <SOCKET-ADDRESS>...

FLAGS:
    -b, --allow-broadcast    Allow sockets to send packets to a broadcast
                             address
    -h, --help               Prints help information
    -V, --version            Prints version information

OPTIONS:
        --date-time-format <STRING>
            A format for displaying local date and time in log messages. Type
            `man strftime` to see the format specification.

            Specifying a different format with days of weeks might be helpful
            when you want to test a server more than one day. [default: %X]
        --display-periodicity    <TIME-SPAN>
            A time span per displaying test summaries. It isn't recommended to
            set a low value (say, 10ms) for performance reasons [default: 3secs]
    -l, --packet-length <POSITIVE-INTEGER>
            Repeatedly send a random-generated packet with a specified bytes
            length. The default is 32768
    -p, --packets-count <POSITIVE-INTEGER>
            A count of packets for sending. When this limit is reached, then the
            program will exit [default: 18446744073709551615]
    -r, --receiver <SOCKET-ADDRESS>...
            A receiver of generated traffic, specified as an IP-address and a
            port number, separated by a colon.

            This option can be specified several times to test multiple
            receivers in parallel mode.

            All receivers will be tested identically. Run multiple instances of
            this program to describe specific characteristics for each receiver.
    -f, --send-file <FILENAME>
            Interpret the specified file content as a single packet and
            repeatedly send it to each receiver
    -m, --send-message <STRING>
            Interpret the specified UTF-8 encoded text message as a single
            packet and repeatedly send it to each receiver
        --send-periodicity <TIME-SPAN>
            A periodicity of sending packets. This option can be used to
            decrease test intensity [default: 0secs]
    -t, --send-timeout <TIME-SPAN>
            A timeout of sending every single packet. If a timeout is reached,
            an error will be printed [default: 10secs]
    -s, --sender <SOCKET-ADDRESS>
            A sender of generated traffic, specif   ied as an IP-address and a port
            number, separated by a colon [default: 0.0.0.0:0]
    -d, --test-duration <TIME-SPAN>
            A whole test duration. When this limit is reached, then the program
            will exit [default: 64years 64hours 64secs]
    -v, --verbosity <LEVEL>
            Enable one of the possible verbosity levels. The zero level doesn't
            print anything, and the last level prints everything [default: 3]
            [possible values: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
    -w, --wait <TIME-SPAN>
            A waiting time span before a test execution used to prevent a launch
            of an erroneous (unwanted) test [default: 5secs]

• The goal of Anevicon is to produce the maximum possible (for your computer) load on the specified receiver. Thereby, this DOES NOT MEAN that Anevicon will break ABSOLUTELY ANY SERVER while running on your computer.
  
• Anevicon was developed as a means of testing stress resistance of web servers, and not for hacking, that is, the author of the project IS NOT RESPONSIBLE for any damage caused by your use of my program.
  
• Despite the fact that Anevicon is heavily tested both automatically and manually, does not mean that the author is responsible for any bug in his work because the program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
