65
66 --srcdir PATH
67 PATH is a directory containing test directories.
68
69 --strace N
70 Turns on Expect internal tracing to N levels deep. The output is

74 The configuration TRIPLET for the target.
75
76 --target_board NAME
77 A list of target board NAMEs to run tests on.
78
79 --tool TOOLNAME
80 Specify the tool to be tested. TOOLNAME controls the test suite

85
86 --tool_opts OPTIONS

99
100 -D[number]
101 Activate the Tcl debugger. number can be either 1 or 0. If it
102 is 1, then the Expect shell will break when it starts to run.
103 The interrupt key will cause DejaGnu to drop to the debugger
104 prompt. If it is 0, DejaGnu starts as usual, but Control-C drops
105 to the debugger prompt.
106
107 Any file name on the command line is assumed to be a subset of the
108 test names to run. Usually these are the names of the test scripts
109 (eg. foo.exp).
110
111 Makefile-style variables are used to specify tool names and their
112 flags; these and other configuration dependent values are saved in the
113 file site.exp, created during configuration.
114
115 Exit status:
116 0 if all tests passed including expected failures and unsupported
117 tests,
118
119 1 if any test failed, passed unexpectedly, or was unresolved,
120
121 2 if Expect encountered any error in the test scripts.
