.TH runtests.pl 1 "2 Feb 2010" "Curl 7.69.0" "runtests"
.SH NAME
runtests.pl \- run one or more test cases
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B runtests.pl [options] [test number] [!test number] [key word] [!key word]
.B runtests.pl [options] [tests]
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fIruntests.pl\fP runs one, several or all the existing test cases in curl's
test suite. It is often called from the root Makefile of the curl package with
\&'make test'.
.SH "TEST NUMBER"
If no test case number is given, all existing tests that the script can find
will be considered for running. You can specify single test cases to run,
space-separated, like "1 3 5 7 11", and you can specify a range like "45 to
67". You can also specify only the tests you don't want to run by listing
the numbers with a leading exclamation point, like "!66".
.P
It is also possible to specify tests to skip based on a key word describing
the test. These are specified with a leading exclamation point and the
key word or phrase, like "!HTTP NTLM auth". Likewise, tests to run can
be specified simply by specifying the unadorned key words, like "FTPS".
Remember that the exclamation marks and spaces will need to be quoted somehow
when entered at many command shells.
.SH "TESTS"
Specify which test(s) to run by specifying test numbers or keywords.
If no test number or keyword is given, all existing tests that the script can
find will be considered for running. You can specify single test cases to run
by specifying test numbers space-separated, like "1 3 5 7 11", and you can
specify a range of tests like "45 to 67".
Specify tests to not run with a leading exclamation point, like "!66", which
runs all available tests except number 66.
Prefix a test number with a tilde (~) to still run it, but ignore the results.
It is also possible to specify tests based on a keyword describing the test(s)
to run, like "FTPS". The keywords are strings used in the indiviual tests.
You can also specify keywords with a leading exclamation point and the keyword
or phrase, like "!HTTP NTLM auth" to run all tests \fBexcept\fP those using
this keyword. Remember that the exclamation marks and spaces will need to be
quoted somehow when entered at many command shells.
Prefix a keyword with a tilde (~) to still run it, but ignore the results.
.SH OPTIONS
.IP "-a"
Continue running the rest of the test cases even if one test fails. By
