Programming Lang: Shell Script
Description : performs automatic testing in command lines
Clitest is a portable POSIX shell script that performs automatic
testing in Unix command lines. This script was carefully coded to
be portable between POSIX shells
.
It's the same concept as in Python's doctest module: you document
both the commands and their expected output, using the familiar
interactive prompt format, and a specialized tool tests them.
.
The clitest command searches for pieces of text that look like
interactive Unix command lines, and then executes those command
lines to verify that they work exactly as shown.
