cxtest
Command line interface
To set the number of times a test is looped on use the -lt <number>
option.
Example of cxtest -lt option
cxtest -mem -lt 3 -c 4 -io -c 2
The looping specification only applies to the memory test which runs the
class-4 tests three times. The I/O test run the class-2 test only once.
Command line error counts
The error count allows the test to proceed after an error has occurred.
The error count must be set for the test to run after a failure. To set the
error count use the -mt <number> option.
Command line class Selections
To select an entire class of subtests, use the -c <number> option. The
user can specify a range of classes by using a hyphen between the
numbers.
As an example, -c 2-4, runs classes 2,3 and 4.
To specify a list of classes, place a comma between the numbers. An
example would be -c 5,7,2. This runs class 5 then class 7 and finally
class 2.
Command line subtest selections
To select a subtest use the -s <number> option. To specify a range of
subtests, use a hyphen between the numbers. As an example, -s 100-
150
, runs subtests 100 through 150.
-lt <number> Execute <number> of loops of all the tests that
follow
-t <number> Switches the test controller to run on processor
<number>. (range 0-15)
-mt <number> Allows specification of error count
