This file contained runtest file description + list of various scripts
in testcases directory. Scripts list are outdated (some has been
already deleted, others will be deleted).
The format of the LTP runtest file is described in
doc/C-Test-Case-Tutorial.asciidoc and
doc/Test-Writing-Guidelines.asciidoc, improve the description.

have 'runtest/mm', etc.

-The runtest files contain a list of test cases to be executed.
-
-File Format
------------
-
-Lines starting with a '#' are comments and blank lines are ignored.
-
-Otherwise, lines start with a test name followed by white space, then some
-shell script to be executed. For example
-
-Test Name
-| Delimiter Test case argument
-| | |
-v v v
-splice02 seq 1 20000 | splice02 splice02-temp
- ^ ^ ^
- | | |
- | Test case executable |
- -----------Shell script-------------
-
-So the splice02 runtest entry pipes the output of seq into the splice02 test
-executable. Most runtest entries are simpler than this, for example
-
-splice03 splice03
-
-Here the test name and executable have the same name and no arguments have
-been supplied.
-
-Run test files should start with a comment describing the tests they contain,
-e.g.
-
-#DESCRIPTION:Kernel system calls
-
-Note that the LTP has absorbed a number of other projects. Some of these have
-been fully converted to the LTP format, others have runtest files generated
-for them during installation, while some use a shell script to integrate them
-with the other tests.
-
-Test suites
------------
-
- - syscalls (except epoll, see below)
- - fs
- - fsx
- - dio
- - mm
- - ipc
- - sched
- - math
- - pty
-
-if run network tests flag is passed these additional tests are run
- - tcp_cmds
- - multicast
- - rpc
- - nfs
-
-To test filesystem with LVM
