Since they are located with `find', +test-files can be spreaded in any sub-directories. + +You can turn on a verbose execution by calling: + % ./run-tests.sh -v + +Before each call to the test-files, `nft flush ruleset' will be called. +Also, test-files will receive the environment variable $NFT which contains the +path to the nftables binary being tested. + +You can pass an arbitrary $NFT value as well: + % NFT=../../src/nft ./run-tests.sh |
