2.3.1 Summary log file

DejaGnu always produces a summary (.sum) output file. This summary lists the names of all test files run. For each test file, one line of output from each pass command (showing status PASS or XPASS) or fail command (status FAIL or XFAIL), trailing summary statistics that count passing and failing tests (expected and unexpected), the full pathname of the tool tested, and the version number of the tool. All possible outcomes, and all errors, are always reflected in the summary output file, regardless of whether or not you specify --all.

If any of your tests use the procedures unresolved, unsupported, or untested, the summary output also tabulates the corresponding outcomes.

For example, after running runtest --tool binutils a summary log file will be written to binutils.sum. Normally, DejaGnu writes this file in your current working directory. Use the --outdir option to select a different output directory.
