NAME

       runtest - the DejaGnu test driver program

SYNOPSIS

       runtest [ options ]

DESCRIPTION

       DejaGnu	is  a framework for running test suites on GNU tools. It is written in expect, which uses Tcl (Tool command language).	runtest is
       the test driver program; use it to control what tests to run, and variations on how to run them.

       You can find a comprehensive description of DejaGnu and runtest in The DejaGnu Testing Framework or its Info version, dejagnu.info.

OPTIONS

       --all  Print all test output to screen. By default, only unexpected results are displayed.

       --baud rate
	      Set the baud rate for a serial line connection. Some serial interface programs (like tip) don't use this value  but  instead  use  a
	      separate initialization file.

       --connect type
	      The type of connection to use.  The choices are rlogin, telnet, rsh, kermit, tip and mondfe.

       --debug
	      Turn  on expect internal debugging output. All output is logged to a file called dbg.out.  The output of the --strace also goes into
	      this file.

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

       --host type
	      The configuration string for the host.

       --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.

       --strace N
	      Turns on expect internal tracing to N levels deep.

       --target type
	      The configuration string for the target.

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

       --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.

       -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. All  ^C's
	      drop DejaGnu back to the debugger prompt. A 0 starts DejaGnu like normal, 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 expect test driver, ie... special.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.

ATF-TEST-PROGRAM(1)					    BSD General Commands Manual 				       ATF-TEST-PROGRAM(1)

NAME

     atf-test-program -- common interface to ATF test programs

SYNOPSIS

     atf-test-program [-r resfile] [-s srcdir] [-v var1=value1 [.. -v varN=valueN]] test_case
     atf-test-program -l

DESCRIPTION

     Test programs written using the ATF libraries all share a common user interface, which is what this manual page describes.  NOTE: There is no
     binary known as atf-test-program; what is described in this manual page is the command-line interface exposed by the atf-c, atf-c++ and
     atf-sh bindings.

     In the first synopsis form, the test program will execute the provided test case and print its results to the standard output, unless other-
     wise stated by the -r flag.  Optionally, the test case name can be suffixed by ':cleanup', in which case the cleanup routine of the test case
     will be executed instead of the test case body; see atf-test-case(4).  Note that the test case is executed without isolation, so it can and
     probably will create and modify files in the current directory.  To execute test cases in a controller manner, refer to atf-run(1), which is
     the preferred way to run test cases.  You should only execute test cases by hand for debugging purposes.

     In the second synopsis form, the test program will list all available test cases alongside their meta-data properties in a format that is
     machine parseable.  This list is processed by atf-run(1) to know how to execute the test cases of a given test program.

     The following options are available:

     -l 	     Lists available test cases alongside a brief description for each of them.

     -r resfile      Specifies the file that will receive the test case result.  If not specified, the test case prints its results to stdout.	If
		     the result of a test case needs to be parsed by another program, you must use this option to redirect the result to a file
		     and then read the resulting file from the other program.  Note: do not try to process the stdout of the test case because
		     your program may break in the future.

     -s srcdir	     The path to the directory where the test program is located.  This is needed in all cases, except when the test program is
		     being executed from the current directory.  The test program will use this path to locate any helper data files or utilities.

     -v var=value    Sets the configuration variable var to the value value.
