.SH TESH FILE SYNTAX
Here is the syntax of these files:
The kind of each line is given by the first char (the second char should be
blank and is ignored):
-
+
`$' command to run in foreground
`&' command to run in background
`<' input to pass to the command
.SH OUTPUT
By default, the commands output is matched against the one expected,
and an error is raised on discrepancy. Metacommands to change this:
- "output ignore" -> output completely discarded
+ "output ignore" -> output completely discarded
"output display" -> output displayed (but not verified)
"output sort" -> sorts the display before verifying it (see below)
.SH SORTING OUTPUT
SimGrid since the processes run out of order at any scheduling point
(ie, every processes ready to run at simulated time t run in
parallel). To ensure that the simulator outputs still match, we have
-to sort the output back before comparing it.
+to sort the output back before comparing it.
We expect the simulators to run with that log formatting argument:
- -log=root.fmt:[%10.6r]%e(%i:%P@%h)%e%m%n
+ --log=root.fmt:[%10.6r]%e(%i:%P@%h)%e%m%n
Then, tesh sorts string on the 19 first chars only, and is stable when
line beginnings are equal. This should ensure that:
(1) tesh is effective (no false positive, no false negative)
- (2) scheduling points are separated from each other
- (3) at each scheduling point, processes are separated from each other
+ (2) scheduling points are separated from each other
+ (3) at each scheduling point, processes are separated from each other
(4) the order of what a given process says at a given scheduling
point is preserved.

This is of course very SimGrid oriented, breaking the generality of
-tesh, but who cares, actually?

If you want to change the length of the prefix used for the sort,
simply specify it after the output sort directive, like this:
