15
17 --all Output all test results. By default, only unexpected results are

19
20 --debug
21 Turn on expect internal debugging output. The output is logged
22 to a file called dbg.out.
23
24 --build TRIPLET
25 The configuration TRIPLET for the build system.
26
27 --directory DIRECTORY
28 Run only tests in the specified DIRECTORY.
29
30 --help Prints out a help screen and then exits.
31
32 --host TRIPLET
33 The configuration TRIPLET for the host system.
34
35 --host_board NAME
36 The host board defintion to use.
37
38 --ignore test1.exp test2.exp ...
39 Do not run the specified tests.
40
41 --mail ´name1 name2 ...´
42 Electronic mail addresses to receive test results.
43
44 --name HOSTNAME
45 The network HOSTNAME of the target board.
46
47 --objdir PATH
48 PATH is a directory containing compiled test code.
49
50 --outdir DIRECTORY
51 The name of a DIRECTORY for test log output.
52
53 --reboot
54 Reboot the target board when runtest initializes (if supported).
55
56 --srcdir PATH
57 PATH is a directory containing test directories.
58
59 --status
60 Set the exit status to fail on Tcl errors.
61
62 --strace N
63 Turns on expect internal tracing to N levels deep. The output is
64 logged to a file called dbg.out.
65
66 --target TRIPLET
67 The configuration TRIPLET for the target.
68
69 --target_board NAME
70 A list of target board NAMEs to run tests on.
71
72 --tool TOOLNAME
73 Specify the tool to be tested. TOOLNAME controls the test suite
74 applied, and the associated initialization module.
75
76 --tool_exec PATH
77 Specify the PATH to the executable to test.
78
79 --tool_opts OPTIONS
80 Additional OPTIONS to pass to the tool.
81

93 Activate the Tcl debugger. number can be either 1 or 0. If it
94 is 1, then the expect shell will break when it starts to run.
95 The interrupt key will cause DejaGnu to drop to the debugger
96 prompt. If it is 0, DejaGnu starts as usual, but a ^C drops to
97 the debugger prompt.
98
99 Any file name on the command line is assumed to be a subset of the
100 test names to run. Usually these are the names of the test scripts
101 (eg. foo.exp).
102
103 Makefile-style variables are used to specify tool names and their
104 flags; these and other configuration dependent values are saved in the
105 file site.exp, created during configuration.
106
108 runtest sets the exit code to 1 if any of the tests failed, or sets it
109 to 0 if all the tests passed.
