Regression test programs all have the file extension ".t". For example, age.t or count.t.
The perl program "driver" runs all of the regression test programs. The driver can also be run by giving a specific test to run for example driver age.t
The driver program merely runs the program via the subroutine runtests from the Perl module Test::Harness.
If any program fails you might be able to get additional information by running that program separately standalone. For example if the age regression test fails, run:
perl age.t
Some test programs will give even more verbose output which might be helpful
in tracking down problems if you pass a debug parameter to the the program.
For example
perl gzip.t 5
passes "--debug 5" to recycle-logs.
If you have more tests you'd like to add to this suite please sent them to rocky@panix.com.
