# perf\_3.16-test(1)

Runs sanity tests.

## NAME

perf-test - Runs sanity tests.

## SYNOPSIS

```
perf test [<options>] [{list <test-name-fragment>|[<test-name-fragments>|<test-numbers>]}]
```

## DESCRIPTION

This command does assorted sanity tests, initially through linked routines but also will look for a directory with more tests in the form of scripts.

To get a list of available tests use *perf test list*, specifying a test name fragment will show all tests that have it.

To run just specific tests, inform test name fragments or the numbers obtained from *perf test list*.

## OPTIONS

- \-s, --skip

  Tests to skip (comma separater numeric list).

- \-v, --verbose

  Be more verbose.
