Added BACKWARDS directive to Makefile for compatibility. Completely changed the name space as per FSF's request. Fixed a line-addressing bug introduced by previous `fix', i.e., space preceding a digit acts a plus (+) operator, as in `1 1' == `2', and a plus operator by itself acts as +1, but a space by itself should not equal a plus operator, i.e., `1 ' != `1+' == `2'.

The files in this directory with suffixes `.t', `.d', `.r' and `.err' are
|
|
used for testing ed. To run the tests, set the ED variable in the Makefile
|
|
for the path name of the program to be tested (e.g., /bin/ed), and type
|
|
`make'. The tests do not exhaustively verify POSIX compliance nor do
|
|
they verify correct 8-bit or long line support.
|
|
|
|
The test file suffixes have the following meanings:
|
|
.t Template - a list of ed commands from which an ed script is
|
|
constructed
|
|
.d Data - read by an ed script
|
|
.r Result - the expected output after processing data via an ed
|
|
script.
|
|
.err Error - invalid ed commands that should generate an error
|
|
|
|
The output of the tests is written to the two files err.o and scripts.o.
|
|
At the end of the tests, these files are grep'ed for error messages,
|
|
which look like:
|
|
*** The script u.ed exited abnormally ***
|
|
or:
|
|
*** Output u.o of script u.ed is incorrect ***
|
|
|
|
It is assumed that the ed being tested processes escapes (\) in file names.
|
|
This is so that a name starting with bang (!) can be read, via:
|
|
r \!file
|
|
Without the escape, a POSIX ed would attempt to read the output of
|
|
the shell command `file'. If the ed being tested does not support escape
|
|
processing on file names, then the script `mkscripts.sh' should be modified
|
|
accordingly.
|
|
|
|
The POSIX requirement that an address range not be used where at most
|
|
a single address is expected has been relaxed in this version of ed.
|
|
Therefore, the following scripts which test for compliance with this
|
|
POSIX rule exit abnormally:
|
|
=-err.ed
|
|
a1-err.ed
|
|
i1-err.ed
|
|
k1-err.ed
|
|
r1-err.ed
|
|
|
|
In addition, one of bang1-err.ed or bang2.ed will fail, depending on
|
|
whether or not ed was compiled with the EX_BANG directive.
