NAME
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 command
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
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 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 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 CODES
runtest sets the exit code to 1 if any of the tests failed,
or sets it to 0 if all the tests passed.
