several lines by using \ as a continuation character. This does *not* apply to
data lines.
+A line with a leading number followed by a space and then an uppercase
+word, equals character, value sets an expected return code as above
+plus an environment variable. Example:

+ 255 TZ=GB
+ exim_msgdate -l -u -z -localhost_number=20 000000 1PANS3 ZZZZZZ

Here follows a list of supported commands. They can be divided into two groups:
on the current mainlog file.
+ exiqgrep <data>
+
+This command runs the exiqgrep utility with the given options
+on the current spool directory.
+
+
gnutls
This command is present at the start of all but one of the tests that use
delivered) are not compared with saved versions.
+ no_munge
+
+If this command is encountered anywhere in the script, the output is not
+munged before it is compared with a saved version.
+This option allows meaningful tests of the exim_msgdate utility;
+without it all date comparison checks would succeed.
+
+
no_stderr_check
If this command is encountered anywhere in the script, the stderr output from
terminated by four asterisks ("****"). Even if no data is required for the particular
usage, the asterisks must be given.
-If the input line starts with '>>> ', this prefix and any trailing spaces
-(including line feed) are removed. The reminder is processed with Perl's
-string eval() function, effectivly evaluatiing escape sequences like
-'\x41', or '\r'. If you need a line feed there, you need to encode it
-according to your needs.
+If the input line starts with ':<cmd>:', this prefix is removed and the
+line is processed by the runtest script before sending. The following
+commands are recognised:
-If the input line starts with '\>>> ', the backslash is removed and the
-rest of the line is passed as input. This is used by the client tool,
-which understands the '>>> ' prefix for similar processing.
+- "eval": process the reset of the line with Perl's string eval()
+ function. This can be used to send arbitrary data by encoding it as
+ escape sequences (e.g. "\x41\101"). If you need a line ending, you have
+ to append it accordingly (e.g. "\r\n").
+
+- "noeol": do not terminate the data sent to the application with an end
+ of line character.
+
+- "sleep": interpret the rest of the line as an integer and sleep for
+ that number of seconds before proceeding. No data will be output to
+ the application.

(5) ">>> ": If a line begins with three '>' characters and a space, the rest of the
line is input to be sent to the server. Backslash escaping is done as
- described below, but no trailing "\r\n" is sent. As the runtest's
- input processing catches the '>>> ' for its string eval, you may
- want to escape from this first stage processing by prefixing your
- line with '\'.
