Some Fossies usage hints in advance:

  1. To see the Doxygen generated documentation please click on one of the items in the steelblue colored "quick index" bar above or use the side panel at the left which displays a hierarchical tree-like index structure and is adjustable in width.
  2. If you want to search for something by keyword rather than browse for it you can use the client side search facility (using Javascript and DHTML) that provides live searching, i.e. the search results are presented and adapted as you type in the Search input field at the top right.
  3. Doxygen doesn't incorporate all member files but just a definable subset (basically the main project source code files that are written in a supported language). So to search and browse all member files you may visit the Fossies dejagnu-1.6.3.tar.gz contents page and use the Fossies standard member browsing features (also with source code highlighting and additionally with optional code folding).

Introduction

Welcome to DejaGnu!

DejaGnu is a framework for testing other programs. Its purpose is to provide a single front-end for all tests. Beyond this, DejaGnu offers several advantages for testing:

* The flexibility and consistency of the DejaGnu framework make it
  easy to write tests for any program.

* DejaGnu provides a layer of abstraction which makes all tests
  portable to any host or target where a program must be tested.
  For instance, a test for GDB can run (from any UNIX based host)
  on any target architecture supported by DejaGnu.  DejaGnu has
  run tests on several single board computers, whose operating
  software ranges from a boot monitor to a fully-fledged,
  UNIX-like realtime OS.

* DejaGnu is written in Expect, which in turn uses Tcl (Tool
  command language).  The framework comprises two parts: the
  testing framework and the testsuites themselves.  Tests are
  usually written in Tcl and distributed with the programs, not
  with DejaGnu.
