Command-line Options PreviousNext

The usual way to invoke getest is as follows:

getest filename

where filename is the configuration file used to run the test. There are also some shorthands such as:

getest --hact
getest --ise
getest --se
getest --ve

which are equivalent to:

getest getest.hact
getest getest.ise
getest getest.se
getest getest.ve

When no configuration file has been specified on the command-line then getest uses the filename provided by the environment variable $GETEST_CONFIG.

Here is the list of options that can be used with getest:

-h

--help
Print a summary of the command-line options of getest and exit.
