PERF-TEST(1)                   perf Manual                  PERF-TEST(1)

NAME top

       perf-test - Runs sanity tests.

SYNOPSIS top

       perf test [<options>] [{list <test-name-fragment>|[<test-name-fragments>|<test-numbers>]}]

DESCRIPTION top

       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 top

       -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.
