SYNOPSISradamsa [options] [sample-path] ...
DESCRIPTION
Radamsa is a general purpose data fuzzer. It reads data from given sam‐
ple files, or standard input if none are given, and outputs modified
data. It is usually used to generated malformed data in order to find
issues in programs.
OPTIONS
This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long
options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is
included below.
-h, --help
Show summary of options.
-v, --version
Show program version..
-o, --output pattern
Specify where to write the modified data. By default the data is
written to standard output. The pattern can be a path, in which
%n is filled to be the test case number if present, :n to have
the data written to TCP clients connecting to local port n, or
a.b.c.d:n to have radamsa connect to port n of IPv4 address
a.b.c.d and write each output.
-n, --count n
How many outputs to generate based on the sample(s). Giving -1
or inf causes data to be generated forever. The default is 1.
-s, --seed n
Start from random state n, which is a decimal number. Starting
from the same random state with the same command line arguments
and samples causes the same outputs to be generated. The seed is
read from /dev/urandom or current time is used if the seed isn't
given explicitly.
-m, --mutations string
Request the initial mutation probabilities manually. This is
generally not recommended and the options will change in the
future versions.
-p, --patterns string
Request the mutation patterns manually. This is generally not
recommended and the options will change in the future versions.
-g, --generators string
Request the data stream generator probabilities manually. This
is generally not recommended and the options will change in the
future versions.
-M, --meta path
Write metadata about generated data to given path. - can be used
to have the metadata written to standard output. The metadata
contains the seed followed by one line per testcase.
-l, --list
Show all available mutations, patterns and generators along with
their descriptions.
-v, --verbose
Print what is being done.
