12       app_node(App, Candidates) -> NodeName
13
14              Types:
15
16                 App = atom()
17                 Candidates = [NodeName]
18                 NodeName = atom()
19
20              From  a  set of candidate nodes determines which of them is run‐
21              ning the application App. If none of the candidate nodes is run‐
22              ning App, the function makes the test case calling this function
23              to fail. This function is the same as calling app_node(App, Can‐
24              didates, true).

26       app_node(App, Candidates, FailOnBadRPC) -> NodeName
27
28              Types:

30                 App = atom()
31                 Candidates = [NodeName]
32                 NodeName = atom()
33                 FailOnBadRPC = true | false
34
35              Same as ct_rpc:app_node/2, except that argument FailOnBadRPC de‐
36              termines if the search for a candidate node is to stop if badrpc
37              is received at some point.

53              The  cookie on the client node is set to Cookie for this rpc op‐
54              eration (used to match the server node cookie).
55
56       call(Node, Module, Function, Args) -> term() | {badrpc, Reason}
57
58              Same as call(Node, Module, Function, Args, infinity).

73
74              Evaluates  apply(Module,  Function,  Args) on the node Node. Re‐
75              turns either whatever Function returns, or {badrpc,  Reason}  if
76              the  remote procedure call fails. If Node is {Fun, FunArgs}, ap‐
77              plying Fun to FunArgs is to return a node name.

94              Evaluates  apply(Module,  Function,  Args) on the node Node. Re‐
95              turns either whatever Function returns, or {badrpc,  Reason}  if

99              The cookie on the client node is set to Cookie for this rpc  op‐
100              eration (used to match the server node cookie).

114
115              Evaluates apply(Module, Function, Args) on the node Node. No re‐
116              sponse is delivered and the process that makes the call  is  not
117              suspended  until  the  evaluation is completed as in the case of
118              call/3,4. If Node is {Fun, FunArgs}, applying Fun to FunArgs  is
119              to return a node name.
