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 com
mand 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 ver
sion, 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 initializa
tion 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 out
put 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. 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 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 initial
ization 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 sub
set
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 con
figuration.
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.
