Thanks Anil, these specs are very detailed and useful. But again, if anyone has any clue on any functional test suite on any BSD OS to test the entire set of standard socket() related API calls including bind(), listen(), accept() etc, it saves a lot of my effort.
Currently I am going to through porting the LTP from LinuxTestProject.org on to my OpenBSD which is not easy, since LTP has good coverage of most test cases. I have seen a lot of tools that test TCP/IP protocol by sending traffic thru the ethernet wire running from an outside box to the BSD box, but they do not run inside BSD and so, of no use to me to test my BSD's APIs. So any hints will be extremely useful. Thanks again. -Satya --- Anil Madhavapeddy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > CC: misc@openbsd.org > From: Anil Madhavapeddy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: any functional test suites to test > socket API calls on openbsd > Date: Mon, 19 Sep 2005 19:50:14 +0100 > To: Satya Nemana <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > On 19 Sep 2005, at 16:34, Satya Nemana wrote: > > > > I cann't imagine, it is so hard to get something > that > > looks so obviously needed and that too, such a > > standard one like socket API.
