Test programs written using the ATF libraries all share a common user interface,
  which is what this manual page describes. NOTE: There is no
  binary known as atf-test-program;
  what is described in this manual page is the command-line
  interface exposed by the atf-c, atf-c++ and atf-sh
  bindings.
In the first synopsis form, the test program will execute the
    provided test case and print its results to the standard output, unless
    otherwise stated by the -r flag. Optionally, the
    test case name can be suffixed by ‘:cleanup’, in which case
    the cleanup routine of the test case will be executed instead of the test
    case body; see
    atf-test-case(4). Note
    that the test case is executed without isolation, so it
    can and probably will create and modify files in the current directory. To
    execute test cases in a controller manner, refer to
    atf-run(1), which is the
    preferred way to run test cases. You should only execute test cases by hand
    for debugging purposes.
In the second synopsis form, the test program will list all
    available test cases alongside their meta-data properties in a format that
    is machine parseable. This list is processed by
    atf-run(1) to know how to
    execute the test cases of a given test program.
The following options are available:
  - -l
- Lists available test cases alongside a brief description for each of
    them.
- -rresfile
- Specifies the file that will receive the test case result. If not
      specified, the test case prints its results to stdout. If the result of a
      test case needs to be parsed by another program, you must use this option
      to redirect the result to a file and then read the resulting file from the
      other program. Note: do not try to process the stdout of the
      test case because your program may break in the future.
- -ssrcdir
- The path to the directory where the test program is located. This is
      needed in all cases, except when the test program is being executed from
      the current directory. The test program will use this path to locate any
      helper data files or utilities.
- -vvar=value
- Sets the configuration variable var to the value
      value.
