This module implements the command line interface for running %%% tests and some basic functions for common test case issues %%% such as configuration and logging.
%%% %%%Test Suite Support Macros
%%% %%%The config macro is defined in ct.hrl. This
%%% macro should be used to retrieve information from the
%%% Config variable sent to all test cases. It is used with two
%%% arguments, where the first is the name of the configuration
%%% variable you wish to retrieve, and the second is the Config
%%% variable supplied to the test case.
Possible configuration variables include:
%%%data_dir - Data file directory.priv_dir - Scratch file directory.init_per_suite/1 or
%%% init_per_testcase/2 in the test suite.ct:require/2 is called,
%%% e.g. ct:require(mynodename,{node,[telnet]})
%%%
%%% @type target_name() = var_name(). The name of a target.
%%%
%%% @type handle() = ct_gen_conn:handle() | term(). The identity of a
%%% specific connection.

%%% From this mode all test case support functions can be executed

%%% [-config File...].
If any functions using "required config data" (e.g. telnet or
%%% ftp functions) are to be called from the erlang shell, config data
%%% must first be required with ct:require/2.
Example:
%%% > ct:require(unix_telnet, unix).
%%% ok
%%% > ct_telnet:open(unix_telnet).
%%% {ok,<0.105.0>}
%%% > ct_telnet:cmd(unix_telnet, "ls .").
%%% {ok,["ls","file1 ...",...]}
Example 1: require the variable myvar:
ok = ct:require(myvar).%%% %%%
In this case the config file must at least contain:
%%%{myvar,Value}.
%%%
%%% Example 2: require the key myvar with
%%% subkeys sub1 and sub2:
ok = ct:require({myvar,[sub1,sub2]}).
%%%
%%% In this case the config file must at least contain:
%%%{myvar,[{sub1,Value},{sub2,Value}]}.
%%%
%%% Example 3: require the key myvar with
%%% subkey sub1 with subsub1:
ok = ct:require({myvar,sub1,sub2}).
%%%
%%% In this case the config file must at least contain:
%%%{myvar,[{sub1,[{sub2,Value}]}]}.

%%%-----------------------------------------------------------------
%%% @spec require(Name,Required) -> ok | {error,Reason}
%%% Name = atom()
%%% Required = Key | {Key,SubKey} | {Key,SubKey,SubKey}
%%% SubKey = Key
%%% Key = atom()
%%%
%%% @doc Check if the required configuration is available, and give it
%%% a name. The semantics for If the requested data is available, the sub entry will be
%%% associated with Name so that the value of the element
%%% can be read with get_config/1,2 provided
%%% Name instead of the whole Required term.
Example: Require one node with a telnet connection and an
%%% ftp connection. Name the node a:
%%%
ok = ct:require(a,{machine,node}).
%%% All references to this node may then use the node name.
%%% E.g. you can fetch a file over ftp like this:
%%% ok = ct:ftp_get(a,RemoteFile,LocalFile).%%% %%%
For this to work, the config file must at least contain:
%%%{machine,[{node,[{telnet,IpAddr},{ftp,IpAddr}]}]}.
%%%
%%% This function returns the matching value(s) or config element(s),
%%% given a config variable key or its associated name
%%% (if one has been specified with require/2 or a
%%% require statement).
Example, given the following config file:
%%%
%%% {unix,[{telnet,IpAddr},
%%% {user,[{username,Username},
%%% {password,Password}]}]}.
%%% ct:get_config(unix,Default) ->
%%% [{telnet,IpAddr},
%%% {user, [{username,Username},
%%% {password,Password}]}]
%%% ct:get_config({unix,telnet},Default) -> IpAddr
%%% ct:get_config({unix,user,username},Default) -> Username
%%% ct:get_config({unix,ftp},Default) -> Default
%%% ct:get_config(unknownkey,Default) -> Default
If a config variable key has been associated with a name (by
%%% means of require/2 or a require statement), the name
%%% may be used instead of the key to read the value:
ct:require(myuser,{unix,user}) -> ok.
%%% ct:get_config(myuser,Default) ->
%%% [{username,Username},
%%% {password,Password}]
If a config variable is defined in multiple files and you want to
%%% access all possible values, use the all option. The
%%% values will be returned in a list and the order of the elements
%%% corresponds to the order that the config files were specified at
%%% startup.
If you want config elements (key-value tuples) returned as result
%%% instead of values, use the element option.
%%% The returned elements will then be on the form {Required,Value}
This function performs updating of the configuration data from which the %%% given configuration variable was read, and returns the (possibly) new %%% value of this variable.
%%%Note that if some variables were present in the configuration but are not loaded %%% using this function, they will be removed from the configuration table together %%% with their aliases.
