memslap - libmemcached Documentation

memslap  is  a  load  generation  and  benchmark tool for memcached(1) servers. It generates configurable
       workload such as threads, concurrencies, connections, run time, overwrite, miss  rate,  key  size,  value
       size, get/set proportion, expected throughput, and so on.

PROGRAMPREFIX
       The prefix of this program is variable, i.e. it can be configured at build time.

       Usually the client programs of libmemcached-awesome are prefixed with mem, like memcat or memcp.

       It  can  be  configured,  though, to replace the prefix with something else like mc, in case of that, the
       client programs of libmemcached-awesome would be called mccat, mccp, etc. respectively.
