optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --disable-uvloop      do not use uvloop even if it is available (default:
                        False)

                        logging verbosity (default: info)
  -m {clock,newline,urandom,null,slow_newline}, --mode {clock,newline,urandom,null,slow_newline}
                        operation mode (default: clock)

listen options:
  -a BIND_ADDRESS, --bind-address BIND_ADDRESS
                        bind address (default: 0.0.0.0)

Modes of operation

• clock - feed client with current time string every second
• newline - feed client with newlines as fast as possible
• urandom - feed client with random bytes as fast as possible
• null - feed client with zero bytes as fast as possible
• slow_newline - feed client with newline character every second
