SYNOPSIS

     auval [-[-64 | --ppc]] [-s TYPE] [-a] [-v|vt TYPE SUBT MANU [-w] [-de] [-dw]] [-f file]

DESCRIPTION

     AUValidation tests a specified AudioUnit for API and behavioural conformance.  returns: OK: 0, malformed execution: 1, unit not conformant:
     -1

OPTIONS

     -64 | -ppc
	      must be specified first. can specify either: -ppc to run using Rosetta on Intel machine, or -64 to run as 64 bit. If neither speci-
	      fied runs as 32 bit native architecture

     -h       print help text

     -a       lists all available AudioUnits of any type

     -s TYPE  lists all available AudioUnits of type 'TYPE'

     -v TYPE SUBT MANU
	      opens the AudioUnit specified by the TYPE SUBT MANU component ID's and tests that unit.

     -vt TYPE MANU
	      iterates through all of the AU's of specified TYPE and MANU

     -de      execution is terminated when first error is encountered

     -dw      execution is terminated when first warning is encountered

     -c       continue validating when an error occurs in batch mode.

     -qp      doesn't print parameter or Factory Presets information

     -o       only runs a basic open and initialize test. good for debugging basic functionality

     -r N     repeat the whole process of validation N times. good for catching open/init bugs.

     -w       wait after finished - good for profiling memory usage see 'man leaks'

     -vers    The version is printed to stdout.
