You can make the binaries that Yalnix uses by typing 'make' in the root directory of this project (where this README lives)

Those binaries can then be run by your kernel by supplying their full paths as the program argument to Yalnix.

Example:

$ ./yalnix -lu 5 -lk 5 ~/KernelTest/cdb6_sls13/test_fork

To see what the expected behavior of each of the test files is, look for a block comment at the top of the source file.

You can also copy your yalnix binary into the directory that has the tests that you want to run. This works well for anything that Exec's another program (like a lot of the provided tests).

Example:

cp /path/to/yalnix /path/to/KernelTest/provided

cd /path/to/KernelTest/provided

./yalnix testfile

To contribute your own test files, first create a directory for them that is namespaced to you/your partner's netID's so that we don't have issues with file names colliding.

Then, put all the test source files in there, along with a Makefile to compile them (you can see the Makefile in cdb6_sls13 and use it as an example, you should just have to modify the ALL field).

Put the name of this namespaced directory at the end of the DIRS variable at the top of the Makefile.

Test it out! Make sure running make creates the binaries for all your test files, and that make clean removes them.

Submit a Pull Request on GitHub so other people can benefit from your tests (even if you don't think they're good! Any additional information is good information).
