NAME

       runtest - DejaGnu test driver

SYNOPSIS

       runtest [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

       DejaGnu	is  a  framework for testing programs using Expect.  runtest is the driver program for DejaGnu.  It controls what tests to run and
       how to run them.

OPTIONS

       --all  Output all test results. By default, only unexpected results are displayed.

       --debug
	      Turn on expect internal debugging output. The output is logged to a file called dbg.out.

       --build TRIPLET
	      The configuration TRIPLET for the build system.

       --directory DIRECTORY
	      Run only tests in the specified DIRECTORY.

       --help Prints out a help screen and then exits.

       --host TRIPLET
	      The configuration TRIPLET for the host system.

       --host_board NAME
	      The host board defintion to use.

       --ignore test1.exp test2.exp ...
	      Do not run the specified tests.

       --mail 'name1 name2 ...'
	      Electronic mail addresses to receive test results.

       --name HOSTNAME
	      The network HOSTNAME of the target board.

       --objdir PATH
	      PATH is a directory containing compiled test code.

       --outdir DIRECTORY
	      The name of a DIRECTORY for test log output.

       --reboot
	      Reboot the target board when runtest initializes (if supported).

       --srcdir PATH
	      PATH is a directory containing test directories.

       --status
	      Set the exit status to fail on Tcl errors.

       --strace N
	      Turns on expect internal tracing to N levels deep. The output is logged to a file called dbg.out.

       --target TRIPLET
	      The configuration TRIPLET for the target.

       --target_board NAME
	      A list of target board NAMEs to run tests on.

       --tool TOOLNAME
	      Specify the tool to be tested.  TOOLNAME controls the test suite applied, and the associated initialization module.

       --tool_exec PATH
	      Specify the PATH to the executable to test.

       --tool_opts OPTIONS
	      Additional OPTIONS to pass to the tool.

       --verbose, -v
	      Turns on more debugging output from test cases and DejaGnu utility code.	Use more than once to increase output further.

       --version, -V
	      Prints out the versions of DejaGnu, Expect and Tcl.

       --xml, -x
	      Generate XML output.

       -D[number]
	      Activate the Tcl debugger.  number can be either 1 or 0. If it is 1, then the expect shell will break when it  starts  to  run.  The
	      interrupt key will cause DejaGnu to drop to the debugger prompt. If it is 0, DejaGnu starts as usual, but a ^C drops to the debugger
	      prompt.

       Any file name on the command line is assumed to be a subset of the
       test names to run.  Usually these are the names of the test scripts (eg. foo.exp).

       Makefile-style variables are used to specify tool names and their flags; these and other configuration dependent values are  saved  in  the
       file site.exp, created during configuration.

EXIT CODES

       runtest sets the exit code to 1 if any of the tests failed, or sets it to 0 if all the tests passed.
