+.Ed
+.Ss Definition of test cases
+Test cases have an identifier and are composed of three different parts:
+the header, the body and an optional cleanup routine, all of which are
+described in
+.Xr atf-test-case 4 .
+To define test cases, one can use the
+.Fn ATF_TC ,
+.Fn ATF_TC_WITH_CLEANUP
+or the
+.Fn ATF_TC_WITHOUT_HEAD
+macros, which take a single parameter specifiying the test case's name.
+.Fn ATF_TC ,
+requires to define a head and a body for the test case,
+.Fn ATF_TC_WITH_CLEANUP
+requires to define a head, a body and a cleanup for the test case and
+.Fn ATF_TC_WITHOUT_HEAD
+requires only a body for the test case.
+It is important to note that these
+.Em do not
+set the test case up for execution when the program is run.
+In order to do so, a later registration is needed with the
+.Fn ATF_TP_ADD_TC
+macro detailed in
+.Sx Program initialization .
+.Pp
+Later on, one must define the three parts of the body by means of three
+functions.
+Their headers are given by the
+.Fn ATF_TC_HEAD ,
+.Fn ATF_TC_BODY
+and
+.Fn ATF_TC_CLEANUP
+macros, all of which take the test case name provided to the
+.Fn ATF_TC
+.Fn ATF_TC_WITH_CLEANUP ,
+or
+.Fn ATF_TC_WITHOUT_HEAD
+macros and the name of the variable that will hold a pointer to the
+test case data.
+Following each of these, a block of code is expected, surrounded by the
+opening and closing brackets.
+.Ss Program initialization
+The library provides a way to easily define the test program's
+.Fn main
+function.
+You should never define one on your own, but rely on the
+library to do it for you.
+This is done by using the
+.Fn ATF_TP_ADD_TCS
+macro, which is passed the name of the object that will hold the test
+cases; i.e. the test program instance.
+This name can be whatever you want as long as it is a valid variable
+identifier.
+.Pp
+After the macro, you are supposed to provide the body of a function, which
+should only use the
+.Fn ATF_TP_ADD_TC
+macro to register the test cases the test program will execute and return
+a success error code.
+The first parameter of this macro matches the name you provided in the
+former call.
+The success status can be returned using the
+.Fn atf_no_error
+function.
+.Ss Header definitions
+The test case's header can define the meta-data by using the
+.Fn atf_tc_set_md_var
+method, which takes three parameters: the first one points to the test
+case data, the second one specifies the meta-data variable to be set
+and the third one specifies its value.
+Both of them are strings.
+.Ss Configuration variables
+The test case has read-only access to the current configuration variables
+by means of the
+.Ft bool
+.Fn atf_tc_has_config_var ,
+.Ft const char *
+.Fn atf_tc_get_config_var ,
+.Ft const char *
+.Fn atf_tc_get_config_var_wd ,
+.Ft bool
+.Fn atf_tc_get_config_var_as_bool ,
+.Ft bool
+.Fn atf_tc_get_config_var_as_bool_wd ,
+.Ft long
+.Fn atf_tc_get_config_var_as_long ,
+and the
+.Ft long
+.Fn atf_tc_get_config_var_as_long_wd
+functions, which can be called in any of the three parts of a test case.
+.Pp
+The
+.Sq _wd
+variants take a default value for the variable which is returned if the
+variable is not defined.
+The other functions without the
+.Sq _wd
+suffix
+.Em require
+the variable to be defined.
+.Ss Access to the source directory
+It is possible to get the path to the test case's source directory from any
+of its three components by querying the
+.Sq srcdir
+configuration variable.
+.Ss Requiring programs
+Aside from the
+.Va require.progs
+meta-data variable available in the header only, one can also check for
+additional programs in the test case's body by using the
+.Fn atf_tc_require_prog
+function, which takes the base name or full path of a single binary.
+Relative paths are forbidden.
+If it is not found, the test case will be automatically skipped.
+.Ss Test case finalization
+The test case finalizes either when the body reaches its end, at which
+point the test is assumed to have
+.Em passed ,
+unless any non-fatal errors were raised using
+.Fn atf_tc_fail_nonfatal ,
+or at any explicit call to
+.Fn atf_tc_pass ,
+.Fn atf_tc_fail
+or
+.Fn atf_tc_skip .
+These three functions terminate the execution of the test case immediately.
+The cleanup routine will be processed afterwards in a completely automated
+way, regardless of the test case's termination reason.
+.Pp
+.Fn atf_tc_pass
+does not take any parameters.
+.Fn atf_tc_fail ,
+.Fn atf_tc_fail_nonfatal
+and
+.Fn atf_tc_skip
+take a format string and a variable list of parameters, which describe, in
+a user-friendly manner, why the test case failed or was skipped,
+respectively.
+It is very important to provide a clear error message in both cases so that
+the user can quickly know why the test did not pass.
+.Ss Expectations
+Everything explained in the previous section changes when the test case
+expectations are redefined by the programmer.
+.Pp
+Each test case has an internal state called
+.Sq expect
+that describes what the test case expectations are at any point in time.
+The value of this property can change during execution by any of:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Fn atf_tc_expect_death "reason" "..."
+Expects the test case to exit prematurely regardless of the nature of the
+exit.
+.It Fn atf_tc_expect_exit "exitcode" "reason" "..."
+Expects the test case to exit cleanly.
+If
+.Va exitcode
+is not
+.Sq -1 ,
+.Xr atf-run 1
+will validate that the exit code of the test case matches the one provided
+in this call.
+Otherwise, the exact value will be ignored.
+.It Fn atf_tc_expect_fail "reason" "..."
+Any failure (be it fatal or non-fatal) raised in this mode is recorded.
+However, such failures do not report the test case as failed; instead, the
+test case finalizes cleanly and is reported as
+.Sq expected failure ;
+this report includes the provided
+.Fa reason
+as part of it.
+If no error is raised while running in this mode, then the test case is
+reported as
+.Sq failed .
+.Pp
+This mode is useful to reproduce actual known bugs in tests.
+Whenever the developer fixes the bug later on, the test case will start
+reporting a failure, signaling the developer that the test case must be
+adjusted to the new conditions.
+In this situation, it is useful, for example, to set
+.Fa reason
+as the bug number for tracking purposes.
+.It Fn atf_tc_expect_pass
+This is the normal mode of execution.
+In this mode, any failure is reported as such to the user and the test case
+is marked as
+.Sq failed .
+.It Fn atf_tc_expect_signal "signo" "reason" "..."
+Expects the test case to terminate due to the reception of a signal.
+If
+.Va signo
+is not
+.Sq -1 ,
+.Xr atf-run 1
+will validate that the signal that terminated the test case matches the one
+provided in this call.
+Otherwise, the exact value will be ignored.
+.It Fn atf_tc_expect_timeout "reason" "..."
+Expects the test case to execute for longer than its timeout.
+.El
+.Ss Helper macros for common checks
+The library provides several macros that are very handy in multiple
+situations.
+These basically check some condition after executing a given statement or
+processing a given expression and, if the condition is not met, they
+report the test case as failed.
+.Pp
+The
+.Sq REQUIRE
+variant of the macros immediately abort the test case as soon as an error
+condition is detected by calling the
+.Fn atf_tc_fail
+function.
+Use this variant whenever it makes now sense to continue the execution of a
+test case when the checked condition is not met.
+The
+.Sq CHECK
+variant, on the other hand, reports a failure as soon as it is encountered
+using the
+.Fn atf_tc_fail_nonfatal
+function, but the execution of the test case continues as if nothing had
+happened.
+Use this variant whenever the checked condition is important as a result of
+the test case, but there are other conditions that can be subsequently
+checked on the same run without aborting.
+.Pp
+Additionally, the
+.Sq MSG
+variants take an extra set of parameters to explicitly specify the failure
+message.
+This failure message is formatted according to the
+.Xr printf 3
+formatters.
+.Pp
+.Fn ATF_CHECK ,
+.Fn ATF_CHECK_MSG ,
+.Fn ATF_REQUIRE
+and
+.Fn ATF_REQUIRE_MSG
+take an expression and fail if the expression evaluates to false.
+.Pp
+.Fn ATF_CHECK_EQ ,
+.Fn ATF_CHECK_EQ_MSG ,
+.Fn ATF_REQUIRE_EQ
+and
+.Fn ATF_REQUIRE_EQ_MSG
+take two expressions and fail if the two evaluated values are not equal.
+.Pp
+.Fn ATF_CHECK_STREQ ,
+.Fn ATF_CHECK_STREQ_MSG ,
+.Fn ATF_REQUIRE_STREQ
+and
+.Fn ATF_REQUIRE_STREQ_MSG
+take two strings and fail if the two are not equal character by character.
+.Pp
+.Fn ATF_CHECK_ERRNO
+and
+.Fn ATF_REQUIRE_ERRNO
+take, first, the error code that the check is expecting to find in the
+.Va errno
+variable and, second, a boolean expression that, if evaluates to true,
+means that a call failed and
+.Va errno
+has to be checked against the first value.
