lmbench is a micro-benchmark suite designed to focus attention
on the basic building blocks of many common system applications,
such as databases, simulations, software development, and
networking. In almost all cases, the individual tests are
the result of analysis and isolation of a customer's actual
performance problem. These tools can be, and currently are,
used to compare different system implementations from different
vendors. The tools have been and continue to be used by processor
designers. In several cases, the benchmarks have uncovered
previously unknown bugs and design flaws. lmbench includes an
extensible database of results from systems current as of late 1995.
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
Problem reports, updates or suggestions for this package should be reported with send-pr.
