# Using this file in a test
# =========================
#
# The typical skeleton of a test looks like this:
#
#   #!/bin/sh
#   . "${srcdir=.}/init.sh"; path_prepend_ .
#   Execute some commands.
#   Note that these commands are executed in a subdirectory, therefore you
#   need to prepend "../" to relative filenames in the build directory.
#   Note that the "path_prepend_ ." is useful only if the body of your
#   test invokes programs residing in the initial directory.
#   For example, if the programs you want to test are in src/, and this test
#   script is named tests/test-1, then you would use "path_prepend_ ../src",
#   or perhaps export PATH='$(abs_top_builddir)/src$(PATH_SEPARATOR)'"$$PATH"
#   to all tests via automake's TESTS_ENVIRONMENT.
#   Set the exit code 0 for success, 77 for skipped, or 1 or other for failure.
#   Use the skip_ and fail_ functions to print a diagnostic and then exit
#   with the corresponding exit code.
#   Exit $?

# Executing a test that uses this file
# ====================================
#
# Running a single test:
#   $ make check TESTS=test-foo.sh
#
# Running a single test, with verbose output:
#   $ make check TESTS=test-foo.sh VERBOSE=yes
#
# Running a single test, keeping the temporary directory:
#   $ make check TESTS=test-foo.sh KEEP=yes
#
# Running a single test, with single-stepping:
#   1. Go into a sub-shell:
#   $ bash
#   2. Set relevant environment variables from TESTS_ENVIRONMENT in the
#      Makefile:
#   $ export srcdir=../../tests # this is an example
#   3. Execute the commands from the test, copy&pasting them one by one:
#   $ . "$srcdir/init.sh"; path_prepend_ .
#   ...
#   4. Finally
#   $ exit

# We require $(...) support unconditionally.
# We require that the printf built-in work correctly regarding octal escapes;
# this eliminates /bin/sh on AIX 7.2.
# We require non-surprising "local" semantics (this eliminates dash).
# This takes the admittedly draconian step of eliminating dash, because the
# assignment tab=$(printf '\t') works fine, yet preceding it with "local "
# transforms it into an assignment that sets the variable to the empty string.
# That is too counter-intuitive, and can lead to subtle run-time malfunction.
# The example below is less subtle in that with dash, it evokes the run-time
# exception "dash: 1: local: 1: bad variable name".
# We require a few additional shell features only when $EXEEXT is nonempty,
# in order to support automatic $EXEEXT emulation:
# - hyphen-containing alias names
# - we prefer to use ${var#...} substitution, rather than having
#   to work around lack of support for that feature.
# The following code attempts to find a shell with support for these features.
# If the current shell passes the test, we're done.  Otherwise, test other
# shells until we find one that passes.  If one is found, re-exec it.
# If no acceptable shell is found, skip the current test.
#
# The "...set -x; P=1 true 2>err..." test is to disqualify any shell that
# emits "P=1" into err, as /bin/sh from SunOS 5.11 and OpenBSD 4.7 do.
#
