Description Jump to heading

Warning

Experimental features are not stable and should be used with care. They may be subject to breaking changes across versions.

Without options, this operation indicates whether experimental mode is enabled or disabled on the current connection. When the on argument is passed, it enables experimental mode for the current CLI connection only. With off, it disables experimental mode.

Examples Jump to heading

Below, we enable experimental mode so we can use an experimental operation:

nix
echo "experimental-mode on; add server be_test/server2 enabled maxconn=1000" | \
sudo socat stdio tcp4-connect:127.0.0.1:9999
nix
echo "experimental-mode on; add server be_test/server2 enabled maxconn=1000" | \
sudo socat stdio tcp4-connect:127.0.0.1:9999

Do you have any suggestions on how we can improve the content of this page?
