The files in this directory with suffixes `.t', `.d', `.r' and `.err' are |
| 4 |
used for testing ed. To run the tests, set the ED variable in the Makefile |
| 5 |
for the path name of the program to be tested (e.g., /bin/ed), and type |
| 6 |
`make'. The tests do not exhaustively verify POSIX compliance nor do |
| 7 |
they verify correct 8-bit or long line support. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
The test file suffixes have the following meanings: |
| 10 |
.t Template - a list of ed commands from which an ed script is |
| 11 |
constructed |
| 12 |
.d Data - read by an ed script |
| 13 |
.r Result - the expected output after processing data via an ed |
| 14 |
script. |
| 15 |
.err Error - invalid ed commands that should generate an error |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
The output of the tests is written to the two files err.o and scripts.o. |
| 18 |
At the end of the tests, these files are grep'ed for error messages, |
| 19 |
which look like: |
| 20 |
*** The script u.ed exited abnormally *** |
| 21 |
or: |
| 22 |
*** Output u.o of script u.ed is incorrect *** |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
The POSIX requirement that an address range not be used where at most |
| 25 |
a single address is expected has been relaxed in this version of ed. |
| 26 |
Therefore, the following scripts which test for compliance with this |
| 27 |
POSIX rule exit abnormally: |
| 28 |
=-err.ed |
| 29 |
a1-err.ed |
| 30 |
i1-err.ed |
| 31 |
k1-err.ed |
| 32 |
r1-err.ed |
