understood by Perl's Test::Harness module and prove(1) commands.
Update README to describe the new protocol. The work's broken down into
two main sets of changes.
First, update the existing test programs (shell scripts and C programs)
to produce output in the ok/not ok format, and to, where possible, also
produce a header describing the number of tests that are expected to be
run.
Second, provide the .t files that actually run the tests. In some cases
these are copies of, or very similar too, scripts that already existed.
I've kept the old scripts around so that it's possible to verify that
behaviour under this new system (in terms of whether or not a test fails)
is identical to the behaviour under the old system.
Add a TODO file.
- Consistently use err/errx/warnx throughout, rather than using perror()
and exit().
- Teach the tests how to better manage (and therefore test) privilege:
in particular, how to create sockes with root credentials but exercise
the privileges with non-root credentials, etc.
- Teach the test suite to apply each of the non-IP_HDRINCL options across
each of SOCK_DGRAM, SOCK_STREAM, and SOCK_RAW.
atempts to read and write various IP-level socket options as root and
nobody, making sure the initial values are as expected, that they can
be changed to valid values and take effect, etc. No attempt is made
to check for the correct implementation of side effects (such as
changes in packet headers) as yet.
The IP options section is currently broken but will be fixed shortly.
Not all multicast options are currently tested.
