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. homepage http://home.tiscali.cz:8080/~cz210552/forkbomb.html platforms darwin master_sites sunsite:system/benchmark checksums md5 d4d31f645122d13e029b32c201d6b18a use_configure no destroot.destdir DESTDIR=${destroot} PREFIX=${prefix} patch { reinplace s|/man|/share/man| ${worksrcpath}/Makefile }
