The purpose of this script is to filter those +# extraneous messages from stdout and stderr so that when the output files are +# compared to the expected output, the extra messages will not cause failures in +# the tests. The system messages in the comments below are out of date, meaning +# I suppose that while the script code to filter messages on the system was +# correct correct when last used, the output in the comments doesn't match the +# script code that follows. I don't currently have access to any of these +# systems to see the current output and the effect of the script code. If using +# this file in the future, please update the comments to match the scripts in use. +# Larry Knox 2017/3/15 + + # Some systems will dump some messages to stdout for various reasons. # Remove them from the stdout result file. # $1 is the file name of the file to be filtered. |
