description System stress testing tool
long_description \
forkbomb is tool for stress testing. It can create many processes \
using fork(), eats all available memory using realloc() and \
accesses this memory. It has different switches for fine-tuning \
operation. While classic fork() bomb is good only for fun, \
running multiple memory-eaters can be useful for determining \
maximum memory which can be given to servers (bind or squid) \
without taking machine down. You can test different operation \
systems with this tool and see how they are handling the load.
