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  Output all test results. By default, only unexpected results are
              displayed.

       --debug
              Turn on expect internal debugging output. The output  is  logged
              to a file called dbg.out.

       --build TRIPLET
              The configuration TRIPLET for the build system.

       --directory DIRECTORY
              Run only tests in the specified DIRECTORY.

       --help Prints out a help screen and then exits.

       --host TRIPLET
              The configuration TRIPLET for the host system.

       --host_board NAME
              The host board defintion to use.

       --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.

       --status
              Set the exit status to fail on Tcl errors.

       --strace N
              Turns on expect internal tracing to N levels deep. The output is
              logged to a file called dbg.out.

       --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.

       --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.

       --xml, -x
              Generate XML output.

       -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 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 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 CODES

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