Overview ¶
dash-client is the dash command line client.
Usage:
dash-client -y [-hostname <name>] [-timeout <string>] [-scheme <scheme>]
The `-y` flag indicates you have read the data policy and accept it.
The `-hostname <name>` flag specifies to use the `name` hostname for performing the dash test. The default is to autodiscover a suitable server by using Measurement Lab's locate service.
The `-timeout <string>` flag specifies the time after which the whole test is interrupted. The `<string>` is a string suitable to be passed to time.ParseDuration, e.g., "15s". The default is a large enough value that should be suitable for common conditions.
The `-scheme <scheme>` flag allows to override the default scheme used for the test, i.e. "http". All DASH servers support that, future versions of the Go server will support "https".
Additionally, passing any unrecognized flag, such as `-help`, will cause dash-client to print a brief help message.
