-.Dt ATF-FORMATS 5
-.Os
-.Sh NAME
-.Nm atf-formats
-.Nd machine-parseable data formats used by ATF
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-This manual page describes the multiple data formats used in ATF.
-These formats affect configuration files, control files and any data that
-is externalized or internalized by the tools.
-.Pp
-Data files are always organized as follows:
-.Bd -literal -offset indent
-Header1: Value1 \\
- ... | head
-HeaderN: ValueN /
- mandatory blank line
-Free-form text contents \\
- ... | body
- ... /
-.Ed
-.Pp
-A file must always contain a
-.Sq Content-Type
-header and must always separate that header from the body with a blank
-line, even if the body is empty.
-.Pp
-The
-.Sq Content-Type
-is always of the form:
-.Bd -literal -offset indent
-Content-Type: application/X-atf-<subtype>; version="<version>"
-.Ed
-.Pp
-where
-.Sq subtype
-indicates the specific file format and
-.Sq version
-its format version.
-This header must be the first one of the file.
-.Pp
-The main purpose of the
-.Sq Content-Type
-header, aside from determining the format used in the file, is to allow
-future changes to a given format.
-Whenever an incompatible change is made, the version is bumped by one.
-By keeping the header in the first line, future versions may even remove
-the need for such a header -- e.g. if some format was replaced by XML
-files, which have their own mandatory header.
-.Pp
-The rest of this document details the different format types.
-.Ss Format: application/X-atf-atffile, version: 1
-Atffiles are logically divided into three sections:
-.Bl -bullet
-.It
-Test programs: the list of test programs that define the test suite
-described by the Atffile.
-.It
-Meta-data properties: these define some constant values applicable to
-all the test programs defined in the file.
-In some sense they define the properties that describe the test suite.
-.It
-Configuration variables: defaults for configuration variables that
-can be overridden through configuration files or the command line.
-.El
-.Pp
-The grammar for Atffiles is the following:
-.Bd -literal -offset indent
-DATA ::= ( ( CONF | PROP | TP )? COMMENT? NEWLINE )* EOF
-CONF ::= 'conf:' WORD EQUAL STRING
-PROP ::= 'prop:' WORD EQUAL STRING
-TP ::= TPFILE | TPGLOB
-TPFILE ::= 'tp: ' STRING
-TPGLOB ::= 'tp-glob: ' STRING
-STRING ::= WORD | '"' WORD* '"'
-.Ed
-.Pp
-The meaning of the constructions above is:
-.Bl -tag -width TPGLOBXX
-.It CONF
-Definition of a configuration variable.
-.It PROP
-Definition of a meta-data property.
-.It TPFILE
-Addition of a test program into the test suite.
-The string is taken literally as the program's name, and this program
-must exist.
-.It TPGLOB
-Addition of multiple test programs into the test suite.
-The string is taken as a glob pattern, which may have or not have any
-matches in the current directory.
-.El
-.Pp
-An example:
-.Bd -literal -offset indent
-prop: test-suite = utilities
-
-conf: unprivileged-user = nobody
-
-tp: t_cp
-tp: t_mv
-tp: t_df
-tp-glob: t_dir_*
-.Ed
-.Ss Format: application/X-atf-config, version: 1
-Configuration files are very simple: they only contain a list of variable
-name/variable value pairs.
-Their grammar is:
-.Bd -literal -offset indent
-DATA ::= ( VAR? COMMENT? NEWLINE )* EOF
-VAR ::= WORD EQUAL STRING
-COMMENT ::= HASH WORD*
-STRING ::= WORD | '"' WORD* '"'
-.Ed
-.Pp
-An example:
-.Bd -literal -offset indent
-# This is the system-wide configuration file for ATF.
-# The above and this line are comments placed on their own line.
-
-var1 = this is a variable value
-var2 = this is another one # Optional comment at the end.
-.Ed
-.Ss Format: application/X-atf-tps, version: 3
-The
-.Sq application/X-atf-tps
-format multiplexes the standard output, standard error and results output
-streams from multiple test programs into a single data file.
-This format is used by
-.Xr atf-run 1
-to report the execution of several test programs and is later parsed by
-.Xr atf-report 1
-to inform the user of this process.
-It has the following grammar:
-.Bd -literal -offset indent
-DATA ::= INFO* TPS-COUNT TP-STANZA* INFO* EOF
-INFO ::= 'info' COLON STRING COMMA STRING NEWLINE
-TPS-COUNT ::= 'tps-count' COLON POSITIVE-NUMBER NEWLINE
-TP-STANZA ::= TP-START TC-STANZA* TC-END
-TP-START ::= 'tp-start' COLON TIMESTAMP COMMA STRING COMMA
- POSITIVE-NUMBER NEWLINE
-TP-END ::= 'tc-end' COLON TIMESTAMP COMMA STRING (COMMA STRING)?
-TC-STANZA ::= TC-START (TC-SO | TC-SE)* TC-END
-TC-START ::= 'tc-start' COLON TIMESTAMP COMMA STRING NEWLINE
-TC-SO ::= 'tc-so' COLON STRING NEWLINE
-TC-SE ::= 'tc-se' COLON STRING NEWLINE
-TC-END ::= 'tc-end' COLON TIMESTAMP COMMA STRING COMMA TCR NEWLINE
-TCR ::= 'passed' | ('failed' | 'skipped') COMMA STRING
-TIMESTAMP ::= [0-9]+.[0-9]+
-.Ed
-.Pp
-The meaning of the constructions above is:
-.Bl -tag -width TPSXCOUNTXX
-.It TPS-COUNT
-Indicates the number of test programs that will be executed.
-There will be this exact amount of
-.Sq TP-STANZA
-constructions following it.
-.It TP-START
-Indicates the beginning of a test program.
-This includes the program's name and the amount of test cases that
-will follow.
-.It TP-END
-Indicates the completion of a test program.
-This is followed by the program's name and, if the program ended
-prematurely, an error message indicating the reason of its failure.
-A successful execution of a test program (regardless of the status of its
-test cases) must not be accompanied by any reason.
-.It TC-START
-Indicates the beginning of a test case.
-This is accompanied by the test case's name.
-.It TC-SO
-Contains a text line sent to the standard output stream during the
-execution of the test case.
-Leading and trailing space is preserved.
-.It TC-SE
-Contains a text line sent to the standard error stream during the
-execution of the test case.
-Leading and trailing space is preserved.
-.It TC-END
-Indicates the completion of a test case.
-This is accompanied by the test case's name, its result and the reason
-associated with this result (if applicable).
-.El
-.Pp
-An example:
-.Bd -literal -offset indent
-tps-count: 2
-tp-start: calculator, 1324318951.838923, 2
-tc-start: add, 1324318951.839101
-tc-end: add, 1324318951.839500, passed
-tc-start: subtract, 1324318951.840001
-tc-so: 3-2 expected to return 1 but got 0
-tc-end: subtract, 1324318952.000123, failed, Calculated an unexpected value
-tp-end: calculator, 1324318952.002301
-tp-start: files, 1, 1324318952.502348
-tc-start: copy, 1324318952.508291
-tc-se: could not find the cp(1) utility
-tc-end: copy, 1324318953.203145, skipped
-tp-end: files, 1324318953.203800
