SYNOPSIS
--------

**h2load** [OPTIONS]... [URI]...

DESCRIPTION
-----------

benchmarking tool for HTTP/2 and SPDY server

.. describe:: <URI>

    Specify URI to access.   Multiple URIs can be specified.
    URIs are used  in this order for each  client.  All URIs
    are used, then  first URI is used and then  2nd URI, and
    so  on.  The  scheme, host  and port  in the  subsequent
    URIs, if present,  are ignored.  Those in  the first URI
    are used solely.

OPTIONS:
--------

.. option:: -n, --requests=<N>

    Number of requests.

    Default: ``1``

.. option:: -c, --clients=<N>

    Number of concurrent clients.

    Default: ``1``

.. option:: -t, --threads=<N>

    Number of native threads.

    Default: ``1``

.. option:: -i, --input-file=<FILE>

    Path of a file with multiple URIs are seperated by EOLs.
    This option will disable URIs getting from command-line.
    If '-' is given as <FILE>, URIs will be read from stdin.
    URIs are used  in this order for each  client.  All URIs
    are used, then  first URI is used and then  2nd URI, and
    so  on.  The  scheme, host  and port  in the  subsequent
    URIs, if present,  are ignored.  Those in  the first URI
    are used solely.

.. option:: -m, --max-concurrent-streams=(auto|<N>)

    Max concurrent streams to  issue per session.  If "auto"
    is given, the number of given URIs is used.

    Default: ``auto``

.. option:: -w, --window-bits=<N>

    Sets the stream level initial window size to (2\*\*<N>)-1.
    For SPDY, 2**<N> is used instead.

.. option:: -W, --connection-window-bits=<N>

    Sets  the  connection  level   initial  window  size  to
    (2**<N>)-1.  For SPDY, if <N>  is strictly less than 16,
    this option  is ignored.   Otherwise 2\*\*<N> is  used for
    SPDY.

.. option:: -H, --header=<HEADER>

    Add/Override a header to the requests.

.. option:: -p, --no-tls-proto=<PROTOID>

    Specify ALPN identifier of the  protocol to be used when
    accessing http URI without SSL/TLS.
    Available protocols: spdy/2, spdy/3, spdy/3.1 and h2c-14

    Default: ``h2c-14``

.. option:: -v, --verbose

    Output debug information.

.. option:: --version

    Display version information and exit.

.. option:: -h, --help

    Display this help and exit.
