USAT(1)

NAME

usat −  ULTRIX-11 System Acceptance Test

SYNOPSIS

usat [ help ] [ option... ]

DESCRIPTION

Usat tests and verifies the existence and correct operation of various ULTRIX-11 commands.  Without an argument, usat lists the names of the tests which are available. 

Usat runs each specified command using a test input file.  After executing the command, it compares the output with a file containing the known, correct result.  Files used for each test are located in /usr/lib/usat/test, where ’test’ is the command name directory. 

Multiple copies of usat may be run in the same directory without fear of collisions.  An exception, however, is running simultaneous yacc tests in the same directory.  Because a common output file y.tab.c is generated, usat cannot guarantee consistent results in this case. 

EXAMPLE

usat c c runs two copies, one after the other, of the C compiler test. A short C program found in /usr/lib/usat/cc generates a table of temperatures. The input file cc.in.c is compiled and executed. Its output is then compared with the known, correct output found in cc.sout. The .sout notation represents a (s)ave (out)put file. If the files fail to compare, the cc test fails, and a warning message is printed.

FILES

/usr/lib/usat/?, /tmp/???
