============================
This directory contains the tests for gawk. The tests use the
following conventions.
Given some aspect of gawk named `foo', there will be one or more
of the following files:
foo.awk --- actual code for the test if not inline in the Makefile
foo.in --- the data for the test, if it needs data
foo.ok --- the expected results
_foo --- the actual results; generated at run time
The _foo file will be left around if a test fails, allowing you to
compare actual and expected results, in case they differ.
If they do differ (other than strftime.ok and _strftime!), send in a
bug report. See the manual for the bug report procedure.
Known Issues:
=============
May 2017: On a system with no ptys available, the pty1 test will hang.
There isn't anything that can be done about this.
