.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
Test programs written using the ATF libraries all share a common user
|
|
interface, which is what this manual page describes.
|
|
.Em NOTE: There is no binary known as
|
|
.Nm ;
|
|
.Em what is described in this manual page is the command-line interface
|
|
.Em exposed by the atf-c, atf-c++ and atf-sh bindings .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In the first synopsis form, the test program will execute the provided
|
|
test case and print its results to the standard output, unless otherwise
|
|
stated by the
|
|
.Fl r
|
|
flag.
|
|
Optionally, the test case name can be suffixed by
|
|
.Sq :cleanup ,
|
|
in which case the cleanup routine of the test case will be executed
|
|
instead of the test case body; see
|
|
.Xr atf-test-case 4 .
|
|
Note that the test case is
|
|
.Em 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
|
|
.Xr atf-run 1 ,
|
|
which is the preferred way to run test cases.
|
|
You should only execute test cases by hand for debugging purposes.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
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
|
|
.Xr atf-run 1
|
|
to know how to execute the test cases of a given test program.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width XvXvarXvalueXX
|
|
.It Fl l
|
|
Lists available test cases alongside a brief description for each of them.
|
|
.It Fl r Ar 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:
|
|
.Em do not try to process the stdout of the test case
|
|
because your program may break in the future.
|
|
.It Fl s Ar 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.
|
|
.It Fl v Ar var=value
|
|
Sets the configuration variable
|
|
.Ar var
|
|
to the value
|
|
.Ar value .
