PERF-TEST(1) | PERF-TEST(1) |
NAME¶
perf-test - Runs sanity tests.
SYNOPSIS¶
perf test [<options>] [{list <test-name-fragment>|[<test-name-fragments>|<test-numbers>]}]
DESCRIPTION¶
This command does assorted sanity tests, initially through linked routines but also will look for a directory with more tests in the form of scripts.
To get a list of available tests use perf test list, specifying a test name fragment will show all tests that have it.
To run just specific tests, inform test name fragments or the numbers obtained from perf test list.
OPTIONS¶
-s, --skip
Tests to skip (comma separated numeric list).
-v, --verbose
Be more verbose.
-S, --sequential
Run tests one after the other, this is the default
mode.
-p, --parallel
Run tests in parallel, speeds up the whole process but is
not safe with the current infrastructure, where some tests that compete for
some resources, for instance, perf probe tests that add/remove probes
or clean all probes, etc.
-F, --dont-fork
Do not fork child for each test, run all tests within
single process, this sets sequential mode.
--dso
Specify a DSO for the "Symbols" test.
