+==name spinlock
+
+==short-description
+
+Consumes CPU cycles up to the loading you specify.
+
+==long-description
+
+Press CTRL-C or use the C<--duration> option to stop it.
+
+==see-also
+
+L<sleep|sleep>
+
+==argument int load optional
+
+The amount of CPU to consume. This number is the same order of magnitude as a percentage, but it isn't calibrated that precisely. So a number less than 10 generally produces a CPU load of a few percent, a value in the hundreds will generally max the CPU out. If omitted it will spin as fast as possible with no attempt at calibration.
+
+==option int s start-after
+
+Wait this number of seconds before starting to consume CPU. If not specified start immediately.
+
+==option int d duration
+
+Run for this number of seconds. If not specifed run indefinitely.
+
+==option int p priority
+
+Run the spinloop at this kernel priority. If not specified, use default priority 12 (C<EPriorityForeground+EPriorityNormal>).
