26.Dt ATF-SH 1
27.Os
28.Sh NAME
29.Nm atf-sh
30.Op Fl s Ar shell
31.Nd interpreter for shell-based test programs
32.Sh SYNOPSIS
33.Nm
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.El
79.Sh EXAMPLES
80Scripts using
81.Xr atf-sh 3
82should start with:
83.Bd -literal -offset indent
84#! /usr/bin/env atf-sh
85.Ed
86.Pp
87Alternatively, if you want to explicitly choose a shell interpreter, you cannot
88rely on
89.Xr env 1
90to find
91.Nm .
92Instead, you have to hardcode the path to
93.Nm
94in the script and then use the
95.Fl s
96option afterwards as a
97.Em single parameter :
98.Bd -literal -offset indent
99#! /path/to/bin/atf-sh -s/bin/bash
100.Ed
101.Sh ENVIRONMENT
102.Bl -tag -width ATFXSHELLXX -compact
103.It Va ATF_SHELL
104Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts.
