In that case \u0027http://localhost:$PORT/path\u0027 will be used as the URL.\n\nAvailable options:\n\n  -c/--connections NUM\n        The number of concurrent connections to use. default: 10.\n  -p/--pipelining NUM\n        The number of pipelined requests to use. default: 1.\n  -d/--duration SEC\n        The number of seconds to run the autocannon. default: 10.\n  -a/--amount NUM\n        The number of requests to make before exiting the benchmark. If set, duration is ignored.\n  -L NUM\n        The number of milliseconds to elapse between taking samples. This controls the sample interval, \u0026 therefore the total number of samples, which affects statistical analyses. default: 1.\n  -S/--socketPath\n        A path to a Unix Domain Socket or a Windows Named Pipe. A URL is still required to send the correct Host header and path.\n  -w/--workers\n        Number of worker threads to use to fire requests.\n  -W/--warmup\n       Use a warm up interval before starting sampling.\n       This enables startup processes to finish and traffic to normalize before sampling begins\n       use -c and -d sub args e.g. `--warmup [ -c 1 -",
