From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030630 Description of problem: There is a more up-to-date version of TTCP including some modifications for CERN by Daniel Davids: http://it-div-cs.web.cern.ch/it-div-cs/public/projects/atm/ttcp.html You may want to consider upgrading the package to include his changes. However, the man page (and README of course) will need to be updated as well to include the addition -V (version) tag. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ttcp-1.12-7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run ttcp without arguments 2. see that it is missing the -V tag in the usage statement 3. realize that RedHat's version of TTCP does not include the modifications made by Danny Davids Actual Results: Usage: ttcp -t [-options] host [ < in ] ttcp -r [-options > out] Common options: -l ## length of bufs read from or written to network (default 8192) -u use UDP instead of TCP -p ## port number to send to or listen at (default 5001) -s -t: source a pattern to network -r: sink (discard) all data from network -A align the start of buffers to this modulus (default 16384) -O start buffers at this offset from the modulus (default 0) -v verbose: print more statistics -d set SO_DEBUG socket option -b ## set socket buffer size (if supported) -f X format for rate: k,K = kilo{bit,byte}; m,M = mega; g,G = giga Options specific to -t: -n## number of source bufs written to network (default 2048) -D don't buffer TCP writes (sets TCP_NODELAY socket option) Options specific to -r: -B for -s, only output full blocks as specified by -l (for TAR) -T "touch": access each byte as it's read Expected Results: Usage: ttcp -t [-options] host [ < in ] ttcp -r [-options > out] Common options: -V prints version number and date of last modification -l ## length of bufs read from or written to network (default 8192) -u use UDP instead of TCP -p ## port number to send to or listen at (default 5001) -s -t: source a pattern to network -r: sink (discard) all data from network -A align the start of buffers to this modulus (default 16384) -O start buffers at this offset from the modulus (default 0) -v verbose: print more statistics -d set SO_DEBUG socket option -b ## set socket buffer size (if supported) -f X format for rate: k,K = kilo{bit,byte}; m,M = mega; g,G = giga Options specific to -t: -n## number of source bufs written to network (default 2048) -D don't buffer TCP writes (sets TCP_NODELAY socket option) Options specific to -r: -B for -s, only output full blocks as specified by -l (for TAR) -T "touch": access each byte as it's read Additional info:
New features are included in the latest rawhide version - ttcp-1.12-12.
