## Install Behavior

- Post-install hook: not defined
- Caveats: macOS has only 16K ports available that won't be released until socket TIME_WAIT is passed. The default timeout for TIME_WAIT is 15 seconds. Consider reducing in case of available port bottleneck. You can check whether this is a problem with netstat: # sysctl net.inet.tcp.msl net.inet.tcp.msl: 15000 # sudo sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.msl=1000 net.inet.tcp.msl: 15000 -> 1000 Run siege.config to create the ~/.siegerc config file.
- Bottle: available on arm64_linux, arm64_sequoia, arm64_sonoma, arm64_tahoe, sonoma, x86_64_linux
