#### ksh93 test suite

## Intro

The directory /usr/demo/ksh/tests/ contains the ksh93 test suite

which is used to verify the correct behaviour of ksh93.

The test suite is split into modules with the ending *.sh

and a frontend called "shtests" which is used to run the tests.

## Basic description:

/usr/demo/ksh/tests/shtests <options> <varname=value> <testmodule>

<options> may be:

-a execute test module one time as normal script code

and a 2nd time as compiled shell script. The env

variable SHCOMP defines the version of the shell

compiler being used (default is "${SHELL%/*}/shcomp",

however it is recommended to explicitly set SHCOMP

to /usr/bin/shcomp).

-c execute test module as compiled shell script

-s execute test module as normal shell script

-t do not print timing information

-v use VMDEBUG

<varname=value>

Sets one or more environment variables to value "value".

<testmodule>

file name of test module

## Basic usage in Solaris >= 11 and OpenSolaris/Indiana:

The tests can be executed like this:

$ export SHELL=<path-to-ksh93-executable>

$ export SHCOMP=/usr/bin/shcomp

for t in /usr/demo/ksh/tests/*.sh ; do

$SHELL /usr/demo/ksh/tests/shtests -a "$t"

done

Note that you MUST NOT use "/usr/bin/ksh93" as value for

SHELL since /usr/bin/ksh93 on Solaris is a wrapper which

selects a suitable executable in /usr/bin/<isa>/ksh93

based on the hardware capabilities defined via /usr/bin/isalist

Valid values for SHELL are:

- SHELL=/usr/bin/i86/ksh93 # 32bit i386

- SHELL=/usr/bin/amd64/ksh93 # 64bit AMD64

- SHELL=/usr/bin/sparcv7/ksh93 # 32bit SPARC

- SHELL=/usr/bin/sparcv9/ksh93 # 64bit SPARC

- SHELL=/usr/bin/s390/ksh93 # 32bit SystemZ

- SHELL=/usr/bin/s390x/ksh93 # 64bit SystemZ
