5So you're in a hurry and don't feel like reading all those docs in the Documentation section that we have worked so hard to write huh?
6
7No worries! Here's a quick doc to help you around POSIX** Test Suite.
8
9========================
10Setting up your machine
11========================
12
13* There is nothing to install, the suite is intended to be run directly.
14
15* See the "BUILD" file for info on how to set up the Makefile and your machine,
16  depending on what specific area you are concentrating on.
17(Signals, Semaphores, Threads, Timers or Message Queues).
18
19===================
20Running the tests
21===================
22
23* Easiest way to run all the tests is to do a "make all" in the top-level
24  directory.
25
26* To run tests for a specific directory, do the following
27  - make generate-makefiles # only required for the first shot.
28  - cd <subdir> ; make all test
29
30  Example:
31
32  - make generate-makefiles
33  - cd conformance/interfaces/pthread_create ; make all test
34
35* Running tests for a specific focus can be done like so:
36  run-posix-option-group-test.sh [OPTION-GROUP]
37
38* For additional information on how to build and run the tests in this
39  suite, see Documentation/HOWTO_RunTests.
