Name

  ctest - Testing driver provided by CMake.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Usage

  ctest [options]

The "ctest" executable is the CMake test driver program.  CMake-generated
build trees created for projects that use the ENABLE_TESTING and ADD_TEST
commands have testing support.  This program will run the tests and report
results.

CMake is a cross-platform build system generator.  Projects specify their
build process with platform-independent CMake listfiles included in each
directory of a source tree with the name CMakeLists.txt.  Users build a
project by using CMake to generate a build system for a native tool on their
platform.

Command-Line Options

  -C <config>
       Choose configuration to test.

       Some CMake-generated build trees can have multiple build
       configurations in the same tree.  This option can be used to specify
       which one should be tested.  Example configurations are "Debug" and
       "Release".

  -V,--verbose
       Enable verbose output from tests.

       Test output is normally suppressed and only summary information is
       displayed.  This option will show all test output.

  -N,--show-only
       Disable actual execution of tests.

       This option tells ctest to list the tests that would be run but not
       actually run them.  Useful in conjunction with the -R and -E options.

  -R <regex>
       Run tests matching regular expression.

       This option tells ctest to run only the tests whose names match the
       given regular expression.

  -E <regex>
       Exclude tests matching regular expression.

       This option tells ctest to NOT run the tests whose names match the
       given regular expression.

  -D <DashboardTest>
       Execute dashboard test

       This option tells ctest to perform act as a Dart client and perform a
       dashboard test.  All tests are ModeTest, where Mode can be
       Experimental, Nightly, and Continuous, and Test can be Start, Update,
       Configure, Build, Test, Coverage, and Submit.

  --copyright [file]
       Print the CMake copyright and exit.

       If a file is specified, the copyright is written into it.

  --help [command]
       Print usage information and exit.

       Usage describes the basic command line interface and its options.  If
       a listfile command is specified, help for that specific command is
       printed.

  --help-full [file]
       Print full help and exit.

       Full help displays most of the documentation provided by the UNIX man
       page.  It is provided for use on non-UNIX platforms, but is also
       convenient if the man page is not installed.  If a file is specified,
       the help is written into it.

  --help-html [file]
       Print full help in HTML format.

       This option is used by CMake authors to help produce web pages.  If a
       file is specified, the help is written into it.

  --help-man [file]
       Print a UNIX man page and exit.

       This option is used by the cmake build to generate the UNIX man page.
       If a file is specified, the help is written into it.

  --version [file]
       Show program name/version banner and exit.

       If a file is specified, the version is written into it.
