NAME

	aetest - aegis test results file format

DESCRIPTION

	The default configuration of the test_command and development_test_command commands of the project config file (see aepconf(5) for more
	information) is for the test commands to test a single test file and a single architecture at a time.  On some systems, this is not effi-
	cient.

	When configured to run multiple simultaneous tests, or multiple simultaneous architectures, a file of the format described here is used to
	communicate the test results back to Aegis.

CONTENTS

	Use a separate row for each unique filename and architecture combination.

	test_result = [ { ... } ];
		All the fields are mandatory.

		file_name = string;
			This is the name of the file being tested.  Use the same filename as was given to the test command.

		exit_status = integer;
			This is the exit status returned by the test.

		architecture = string;
			This is the architecture which the test was run on.  Defaults to the architecture of the current system if not set.  (Try
			to avoid setting this field unless you have a very clever multi-architecture test system.)
