-FLAVOUR <flavour>
This allows "overrides" for the test results. It's intended
use is to deal with distro specific differences in the test
- output. The default flavour is "foo". If during the test
- run differences between the current and the expected output
- are found and no flavour file exists already, you may update
- the "common" expected output or you may create a flavour
- file. If a flavour file already exists, any updates will go
+ output. The default flavour is "FOO" if autodetection fails.
+ (Autodection is possible for known flavours only. Known
+ flavours are computed after file name extensions in stdout/*
+ and stderr/*.)
+
+ If during the test run differences between the current and
+ the expected output are found and no flavour file exists already,
+ you may update the "common" expected output or you may create a
+ flavour file. If a flavour file already exists, any updates will go
into that flavour file!
-KEEP Normally, after a successful run, the test output files are
PORT_D is replaced by a port number for normal daemon use
PORT_N is replaced by a port number that should never respond
PORT_S is replaced by a port number for normal bin/server use
+ PORT_DYNAMIC is replaced by a port number allocated dynamically
TESTNUM is replaced by the current test number
V4NET is replaced by an IPv4 network number for testing
V6NET is replaced by an IPv6 network number for testing
they are networks that can never be used for an IP address of a real host. I've
chosen two multicast networks for the moment.
+PORT_DYNAMIC is allocated by hunting for a free port (starting at port
+1024) a listener can bind to. This is done by runtest, for simulating
+inetd operations.
+
If the host has no IPv6 address, "<no IPv6 address found>" is substituted but
that does not matter because no IPv6 tests will be run. A similar substitution
is made if there is no IPv4 address, and again, tests that actually require a
