# loop-aes-runtests(8)

Testsuite for loop-AES kernel modules and userspace tools

## NAME

loop-aes-runtests - Testsuite for loop-AES kernel modules and userspace tools

## SYNOPSIS

**loop-aes-runtests** \[ *options* \]

## DESCRIPTION

The **loop-aes-runtests** command checks whether loop-AES encryption kernel modules and userspace tools work correctly, i.e. whether they produce the expected output for all supported encryption modes and ciphers.

If this testsuite fails, it may indicate a risk of data corruption and you should not use the modules and tools. We kindly ask you to file a bug report in this case and include the output of this command.

Internally this command calls the  **tests** target of the Makefile which comes with the loop-AES distribution.

This command exits with 0 if the tests completed successfully and displays "\*\*\* Test results ok \*\*\*" when running in verbose mode. A non-zero exit code indicates a problem running one or more tests.

## OPTIONS

- **-v**

  Show detailed output.
