runtest(1)runtest(1)NAMEruntest - the DejaGnu test driver program
SYNOPSISruntest [ 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 vari‐
ations 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 util‐
ity 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 CODESruntest sets the exit code to 1 if any of the tests failed, or sets it
to 0 if all the tests passed.
