Steven Rostedta57419b2010-11-02 15:13:54 -04007# Options set in the beginning of the file are considered to be
8# default options. These options can be overriden by test specific
9# options, with the following exceptions:
Steven Rostedta75fece2010-11-02 14:58:27 -040010#
Steven Rostedta75fece2010-11-02 14:58:27 -040011# LOG_FILE
12# CLEAR_LOG
13# POWEROFF_ON_SUCCESS
14# REBOOT_ON_SUCCESS
15#
Steven Rostedta57419b2010-11-02 15:13:54 -040016# Test specific options are set after the label:
17#
18# TEST_START
19#
20# The options after a TEST_START label are specific to that test.
21# Each TEST_START label will set up a new test. If you want to
22# perform a test more than once, you can add the ITERATE label
23# to it followed by the number of times you want that test
24# to iterate. If the ITERATE is left off, the test will only
25# be performed once.
26#
27# TEST_START ITERATE 10
28#
29# You can skip a test by adding SKIP (before or after the ITERATE
30# and number)
31#
32# TEST_START SKIP
33#
34# TEST_START SKIP ITERATE 10
35#
36# TEST_START ITERATE 10 SKIP
37#
38# The SKIP label causes the options and the test itself to be ignored.
39# This is useful to set up several different tests in one config file, and
40# only enabling the ones you want to use for a current test run.
41#
42# You can add default options anywhere in the file as well
43# with the DEFAULTS tag. This allows you to have default options
44# after the test options to keep the test options at the top
45# of the file. You can even place the DEFAULTS tag between
46# test cases (but not in the middle of a single test case)
47#
48# TEST_START
49# MIN_CONFIG = /home/test/config-test1
50#
51# DEFAULTS
52# MIN_CONFIG = /home/test/config-default
53#
54# TEST_START ITERATE 10
55#
56# The above will run the first test with MIN_CONFIG set to
57# /home/test/config-test-1. Then 10 tests will be executed
58# with MIN_CONFIG with /home/test/config-default.
59#
60# You can also disable defaults with the SKIP option
61#
62# DEFAULTS SKIP
63# MIN_CONFIG = /home/test/config-use-sometimes
64#
65# DEFAULTS
66# MIN_CONFIG = /home/test/config-most-times
67#
68# The above will ignore the first MIN_CONFIG. If you want to
69# use the first MIN_CONFIG, remove the SKIP from the first
70# DEFAULTS tag and add it to the second. Be careful, options
71# may only be declared once per test or default. If you have
72# the same option name under the same test or as default
73# ktest will fail to execute, and no tests will run.
