NAME
       iio_stresstest - Stress test program for Libiio

SYNOPSIS
       iio_stresstest [ options ] -u <uri>

DESCRIPTION
       iio_stresstest is a stress-testing program that can be used to find
       bugs in Libiio or in the Libiio daemon (IIOD).



OPTIONS
       -h, --help
              Tells iio_stresstest to display some help, and then quit.

       -V, --version
              Prints the version information for this particular copy of
              iio_stresstest and the version of the libiio library it is
              using. This is useful for knowing if the version of the library
              and iio_stresstest on your system are up to date. This is also
              useful when reporting bugs.

       -S, --scan [backends]
              Scan for available IIO contexts, optional arg of specific
              backend(s) 'ip', 'usb' or 'ip:usb'.  Specific options for USB
              include Vendor ID, Product ID to limit scanning to specific
              devices 'usb=0456,b673'.  vid,pid are hexadecimal numbers (no
              prefix needed), "*" (match any for pid only) If no argument is
              given, it checks all that are available.

       -u, --uri
              The Uniform Resource Identifier (uri) for connecting to devices,
              can be one of:

              ip:[address]
                     network address, either numeric (192.168.0.1) or network
                     hostname

              ip:    blank, if compiled with zeroconf support, will find an
                     IIO device on network

              usb:[device:port:instance]
                     normally returned from iio_stresstest -S

              serial:[port],[baud],[settings]
                     which are controlled, and need to match the iiod (or
                     tinyiiod) on the other end of the serial port.

                     [port] is something like '/dev/ttyUSB0' on Linux, and
                            'COM4' on Windows.

                     [baud] is is normally one of 110, 300, 600, 1200, 2400,
                            4800, 9600, 14400, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200
                            [default], 128000 or 256000, but can vary system
                            to system.

                     [settings]
                            would normally be configured as '8n1' this is
                            controlled by:

                            data_bits:
                                   (5, 6, 7, 8 [default], or 9)

                            parity_bits:
                                   ('n' none [default], 'o' odd, 'e' even, 'm'
                                   mark, or 's' space)

                            stop_bits:
                                   (1 [default, or 2)

                            flow_control:
                                   ('0' none [default], 'x' Xon Xoff, 'r'
                                   RTSCTS, or 'd' DTRDSR)

              local: with no address part.

       -a, --auto
              Scan for available contexts and if only one is available use it.

       -T, --timeout <arg>
              Context timeout in milliseconds. 0 = no timeout (wait forever)

       -b, --buffer-size <arg>
              Size of the capture buffer. Default is 256.

       -s, --samples <arg>
              Number of samples to capture, 0 = infinite. Default is 0.

       -d, --duration <arg>
              Time to wait (in seconds) before stopping all threads

       -t, --threads <arg>
              Number of threads to use

       -v, --verbose
              Increase verbosity (-vv and -vvv for more)


RETURN VALUE
       If the specified device is not found, a non-zero exit code is returned.
