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.
64To execute test cases in a controller manner, you need a runtime engine
65that understands the ATF interface.
66The recommended runtime engine is
67.Xr kyua 1 .
67You should only execute test cases by hand for debugging purposes.

69In the second synopsis form, the test program will list all available
70test cases alongside their meta-data properties in a format that is

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.
