NAME
runtest - DejaGnu test driver
SYNOPSIS
runtest [OPTION]...
DESCRIPTION
DejaGnu is a framework for testing programs using Expect. runtest is
the driver program for DejaGnu. It controls what tests to run and how
to run them.
OPTIONS
--all, -a
Output all test results. By default, only unexpected results are
displayed.
--build TRIPLET
The configuration TRIPLET for the build system.
--debug
Turn on Expect internal debugging output. The output is logged
to a file called dbg.log.
--directory DIRECTORY
Run only tests in the specified DIRECTORY.
--global_init NAME
The NAME to use for the global init file in libdir. The default
is site.exp if this option is not given.
--help Prints a usage message and then exits.
--host TRIPLET
The configuration TRIPLET for the host system.
--host_board NAME
The host board definition to use.
--ignore test1.exp test2.exp ...
Do not run the specified tests.
--local_init NAME
The NAME to use for the testsuite local init file in both the
current directory and objdir. The default is site.exp if this
option is not given.
--log_dialog
Emit Expect output to standard output.
--mail 'name1 name2 ...'
Electronic mail addresses to receive test results.
--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. The output is
logged to a file called dbg.log.
--target TRIPLET
The configuration TRIPLET for the target.
--target_board NAME
A list of target board NAMEs to run tests on.
--tool TOOLNAME
Specify the tool to be tested. TOOLNAME controls the test suite
applied, and the associated initialization module.
--tool_exec PATH
Specify the PATH to the executable to test.
--tool_opts OPTIONS
Additional OPTIONS to pass to the tool.
-v, --verbose
Turns on more debugging output from test cases and DejaGnu util-
ity code. Use more than once to increase output further.
-V, --version
Prints out the versions of DejaGnu, Expect and Tcl.
-x, --xml
Generate XML output. The output file is named after the tool
with an .xml extension.
-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.
The interrupt key will cause DejaGnu to drop to the debugger
prompt. If it is 0, DejaGnu starts as usual, but Control-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 test scripts
(eg. foo.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 status:
0 if all tests passed including expected failures and unsupported
tests,
1 if any test failed, passed unexpectedly, or was unresolved,
2 if Expect encountered any error in the test scripts.
