     ITEST(1)                                                 ITEST(1)

     NAME
          itest, itreplay - run tests and replay results

     SYNOPSIS
          itest [ -eo ] [ -c cflag ] [ -r count ] [ -v vlevel ] [ -C
          configfile ] [ -R recordroot ] [ testdir ... ]

          itreplay [ -eo ] [ -v verbosity ] [ recorddir ... ]

     DESCRIPTION
          Itest runs a sequence of tests, optionally recording all the
          results in a directory tree. The itreplay command replays
          the results of one or more recorded tests.  Some options are
          common to both commands:

          -e   Display the standard error produced by the tests.

          -o   Display the standard output produced by the tests.

          -v vlevel
               Set the verbosity level to vlevel (0-9). The higher the
               value, the more detail is displayed; the default level
               is 3.

          The tests run by itest are specified as one or more directo-
          ries either on the command line or in a configuration file.
          Options:

          -c cflag
               Set the value in /dev/jit (usually 0 or 1; 0 for inter-
               preted mode, 1 for compiled mode) to cflag

          -r count
               Run the set of tests count times; a value of 0 means
               repeat indefinitely.

          -v vlevel
               Set the verbosity level to vlevel (0-9). The higher the
               value, the more detail is displayed; the default level
               is 3.

          -C cfile
               Use the configuration file cfile. The file should con-
               tain a list of test directories, one per line.

          -R recroot
               Store the test results in a tree rooted at recroot.
               Record directories are named as integers starting at 1.
               Each test run creates a new directory numbered one
               greater than the highest existing directory.

     ITEST(1)                                                 ITEST(1)

          The test results to be replayed by itreplay are specified on
          the command line as one or more record directories.

        TEST FORMAT
          A test directory must contain either a t.dis file or a t.sh
          file, depending on whether the test is written as a Limbo
          program or as a sh(1) script. Limbo programs should use
          itslib(2); sh scripts should use sh-test(2). A test direc-
          tory should also contain a README file (which is displayed
          by itest if the verbosity level is greater than 8), and any
          other files required for the test.

          Tests are run with their working directory set to their own
          test directory.

        RECORD DIRECTORY FORMAT
          Each record directory contains a number of files:

          msgs All the messages generated by the test.

          stderr
               Standard error from the test.

          stdout
               Standard output from the test.

          summary
               a one-line file containing the start time in seconds,
               elapsed time in ms, cflag and the name of the test
               directory.
