LTP User Guidelines

For compiling, installing and running the tests see README.md. For running LTP network tests see testcases/network/README.md.

1. Library environment variables

KCONFIG_PATH

The path to the kernel config file, (if not set, it tries the usual paths /boot/config-RELEASE or /proc/config.gz).

KCONFIG_SKIP_CHECK

Skip kernel config check if variable set (not set by default).

LTPROOT

Prefix for installed LTP, the default is /opt/ltp. Should be always set as some tests need it for path to test data files (LTP_DATAROOT).

LTP_COLORIZE_OUTPUT

By default LTP colorizes it’s output unless using pipe or redirect to file. Force colorized output behaviour: y or 1: always colorize, n or 0: never colorize.

LTP_DEV

Path to the block device to be used (C: .needs_device = 1, shell: TST_NEEDS_DEVICE=1).

LTP_SINGLE_FS_TYPE

Testing only - specifies filesystem instead all supported (for tests with .all_filesystems).

LTP_DEV_FS_TYPE

Filesystem used for testing (default: ext2).

LTP_TIMEOUT_MUL

Multiply timeout, must be number >= 1 (> 1 is useful for slow machines to avoid unexpected timeout). Variable is also used in shell tests, but ceiled to int.

LTP_VIRT_OVERRIDE

Overrides virtual machine detection in the test library. Setting it to empty string tell the library that system is not a virtual machine. Other possible values are kvm, xen, zvm and microsoft that describe different types supervisors.

PATH

It’s required to addjust path: PATH="$PATH:$LTPROOT/testcases/bin"

TMPDIR

Base directory for template directory (C: .needs_tmpdir = 1 and others, which imply it, shell: TST_NEEDS_TMPDIR=1).

TST_NO_CLEANUP

Disable running test cleanup (defined in TST_CLEANUP).
