ATF-SH(1)		     General Commands Manual		       ATF-SH(1)

NAME
     atf-sh -- interpreter for shell-based test programs

SYNOPSIS
     atf-sh [-s shell] script

DESCRIPTION
     atf-sh  is  an interpreter that runs the test program given in script after
     loading the atf-sh(3) library.

     atf-sh is not a real interpreter though: it is just a  wrapper  around  the
     system-wide  shell  defined by ATF_SHELL.	atf-sh executes the interpreter,
     loads the atf-sh(3) library and then runs the script.   You  must	consider
     atf-sh to be a POSIX shell by default and thus should not use any non-stan-
     dard extensions.

     The following options are available:

     -s shell	  Specifies  the  shell  to use instead of the value provided by
		  ATF_SHELL.

ENVIRONMENT
     ATF_LIBEXECDIR    Overrides the builtin directory where atf-sh is	located.
		       Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes.
     ATF_PKGDATADIR    Overrides  the  builtin directory where libatf-sh.subr is
		       located.  Should not be overridden other than for testing
		       purposes.
     ATF_SHELL	       Path to the system shell to  be	used  in  the  generated
		       scripts.   Scripts  must  not rely on this variable being
		       set to select a specific interpreter.

EXAMPLES
     Scripts using atf-sh(3) should start with:

	   #! /usr/bin/env atf-sh

     Alternatively, if you want to explicitly choose a	shell  interpreter,  you
     cannot  rely  on  env(1) to find atf-sh.  Instead, you have to hardcode the
     path to atf-sh in the script and then use the -s  option  afterwards  as  a
     single parameter:

	   #! /path/to/bin/atf-sh -s/bin/bash
