NAME

       clitest - performs automatic testing in command lines

SYNOPSIS

       clitest [options] <file ...>

DESCRIPTION

       Clitest  is  a  portable  POSIX  shell script that performs automatic testing in Unix command lines. This
       script was carefully coded to be portable between POSIX shells

       It's the same concept as in Python's doctest module: you document both the commands  and  their  expected
       output, using the familiar interactive prompt format, and a specialized tool tests them.

       The  clitest  command searches for pieces of text that look like interactive Unix command lines, and then
       executes those command lines to verify that they work exactly as shown.
