In 15.3.3.1 Command-line arguments for test drivers
--log-file=PATH.log
The .log file the test driver must create (see Basics of test metadata).
If it has a directory component (as in e.g., sub/foo.log), the test harness
will ensure that such directory exists before the test driver is called.
Q: Does this mean that custom, dejagnu, and TAP test drivers must generate a
log file? When I run a test it seems that the output of scripts or programs
(TEST = some_script_or_program) is captured in a log file by the test
harness, as in some_script_or_program.log.
--trs-file=PATH.trs
The .trs file the test driver must create (see Basics of test metadata).
If it has a directory component (as in e.g., sub/foo.trs), the test harness
will ensure that such directory exists before the test driver is called.
Q: The command line input is given without qualification. Does this mean
that it applies to all of the serial and parallel test harness, the custom,
dejagnu and TAP test drivers, and test scripts? Or should there be some
qualification
