locust: Load-test "example.com" with web interface using locustfile.py.
$ locust --host=${http:--example-com}
try on your machine
The command "locust --host=${http:--example-com}" is used to run the Locust load testing tool and specify the target host for the test. Here's an explanation of each part of the command:
- "locust" is the command to run the Locust tool. Locust is an open-source load testing tool written in Python.
- "--host=${http:--example-com}" is an argument passed to the Locust command, specifying the target host for the load test.
Here's a breakdown of the "--host=${http:--example-com}" argument:
- "--host" is the flag that tells Locust that the following value is the host to target.
- "${http:--example-com}" is a variable placeholder that resolves to the value of the environment variable "http" or defaults to "-example-com".
In essence, this command instructs Locust to perform a load test on the host specified by the value of the "http" environment variable or, if not set, the default value "-example-com". The actual value of the host would depend on the environment or configuration being used.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
