Fl v Ar varN=valueN 40.Ar test_case 41.Nm 42.Fl l 43.Sh DESCRIPTION 44Test programs written using the ATF libraries all share a common user 45interface, which is what this manual page describes. 46.Em NOTE: There is no binary known as 47.Nm ; 48.Em what is described in this manual page is the command-line interface 49.Em exposed by the atf-c, atf-c++ and atf-sh bindings . 50.Pp 51In the first synopsis form, the test program will execute the provided 52test case and print its results to the standard output, unless otherwise 53stated by the 54.Fl r 55flag. 56Optionally, the test case name can be suffixed by 57.Sq :cleanup , 58in which case the cleanup routine of the test case will be executed 59instead of the test case body; see 60.Xr atf-test-case 4 . 61Note that the test case is 62.Em executed without isolation , 63so it can and probably will create and modify files in the current directory. 64To execute test cases in a controller manner, refer to 65.Xr atf-run 1 , 66which is the preferred way to run test cases. 67You should only execute test cases by hand for debugging purposes. 68.Pp 69In the second synopsis form, the test program will list all available 70test cases alongside their meta-data properties in a format that is 71machine parseable. 72This list is processed by 73.Xr atf-run 1 74to know how to execute the test cases of a given test program. 75.Pp 76The following options are available: 77.Bl -tag -width XvXvarXvalueXX 78.It Fl l 79Lists available test cases alongside a brief description for each of them. 80.It Fl r Ar resfile 81Specifies the file that will receive the test case result. 82If not specified, the test case prints its results to stdout. 83If the result of a test case needs to be parsed by another program, you must 84use this option to redirect the result to a file and then read the resulting 85file from the other program. 86Note: 87.Em do not try to process the stdout of the test case 88because your program may break in the future. 89.It Fl s Ar srcdir 90The path to the directory where the test program is located. 91This is needed in all cases, except when the test program is being executed 92from the current directory. 93The test program will use this path to locate any helper data files or 94utilities. 95.It Fl v Ar var=value 96Sets the configuration variable 97.Ar var 98to the value 99.Ar value . 100.El 101.Sh SEE ALSO 102.Xr atf-run 1 , 103.Xr atf 7 104
