The .t and .d and .r files in this directory 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'.
|
|
|
|
Some spurious data may appear as the test runs. Errors appear
|
|
as:
|
|
*** 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'.
|
|
|
|
Though numerous, the tests are very incomplete. Please send any new
|
|
tests/bug reports to: alm@netcom.com
