26.Dt ATF-SH 1
27.Os
28.Sh NAME
29.Nm atf-sh
30.Nd interpreter for shell-based test programs
31.Sh SYNOPSIS
32.Nm
33.Op Fl s Ar shell
34.Ar script
35.Sh DESCRIPTION
36.Nm
37is an interpreter that runs the test program given in
38.Ar script
39after loading the
40.Xr atf-sh 3
41library.
42.Pp
43.Nm
44is not a real interpreter though: it is just a wrapper around
45the system-wide shell defined by
46.Va ATF_SHELL .
47.Nm
48executes the interpreter, loads the
49.Xr atf-sh 3
50library and then runs the script.
51You must consider
52.Nm atf-sh
53to be a POSIX shell by default and thus should not use any non-standard
54extensions.
55.Pp
56The following options are available:
57.Bl -tag -width XsXshellXXX
58.It Fl s Ar shell
59Specifies the shell to use instead of the value provided by
60.Va ATF_SHELL .
61.El
62.Sh ENVIRONMENT
63.Bl -tag -width ATFXLIBEXECDIRXX -compact
64.It Va ATF_LIBEXECDIR
65Overrides the builtin directory where
66.Nm
67is located.
68Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes.
69.It Va ATF_PKGDATADIR
70Overrides the builtin directory where
71.Pa libatf-sh.subr
72is located.
73Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes.
74.It Va ATF_SHELL
75Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts.
76Scripts must not rely on this variable being set to select a specific
77interpreter.
78.It Va ATF_SHELL
79Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts.
80.El
81.Sh EXAMPLES
82Scripts using
83.Xr atf-sh 3
84should start with:
85.Bd -literal -offset indent
86#! /usr/bin/env atf-sh
87.Ed
88.Pp
89Alternatively, if you want to explicitly choose a shell interpreter, you cannot
90rely on
91.Xr env 1
92to find
93.Nm .
94Instead, you have to hardcode the path to
95.Nm
96in the script and then use the
97.Fl s
98option afterwards as a
99.Em single parameter :
100.Bd -literal -offset indent
101#! /path/to/bin/atf-sh -s/bin/bash
