17
18<P>The test software and data files are located in the
19<VAR>test</VAR> subdirectory of the source distribution. A script
20is provided to compile the <CODE>ipptest</CODE> program and run
21all of the tests that follow, producing a success/fail
22report.</P>
23
24<P>The <CODE>test</CODE> target of the top-level makefile can be
25used to run this script:</P>
26
27<PRE CLASS="command">
28make test
29</PRE>
30
31<P>or you can run the test script directly:</P>
32
33<PRE CLASS="command">
34cd test
35./run-stp-tests
36</PRE>
37
38<P>A Software Test Report is stored in a HTML file in the
39<VAR>test</VAR> subdirectory at the conclusion of the test.</P>

91
92<H3>lpc</H3>
93
94<P>This test verifies that the <CODE>lpc</CODE> command can show
