-HDF5 VOL-independent tools tests
-
-This directory includes a set of test scripts that will exercise the HDF5
-command-line tools which do not require the native VOL connector. For all tests
-to pass, you'll need a VOL connector that implements most of the data model
-functionality (but not the native-specific API calls). If your connector only
-implements a subset of the functionality, many tests will fail.
-
-The test scripts are modified versions of a subset of the tools test scripts
-found in the HDF5 library.
-
-These are not well integrated into the testing framework yet and will require
-some manual work to run.
-
-1) Build the code in this repository.
-
-2) Make sure the h5delete tool is in your path.
-
-3) Make sure that the HDF5 tools are on your path.
-
-    NOTE: The tools tests require the tools to accept the VOL-related
-          command-line parameters, which is an unreleased feature. This
-          means that the tools MUST be built from the develop branch of the
-          HDF5 library (or 1.12.1 when it's released).
-
-    ALSO NOTE: You'll need the shared tools. The statically linked tools
-               cannot load VOL connector plugins. The tests use the "simple"
-               names, though (e.g., h5dump, not h5dump-shared), so you
-               might need to build HDF5 with the "shared only" option,
-               create aliases, or rename things in the script.
-
-4) Set the HDF5_VOL_CONNECTOR environment variable.
-
-    e.g.: export HDF5_VOL_CONNECTOR="pass_through under_vol=0;under_info={}"
-
-5) Make sure the HDF5_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is set to the location
-   of your VOL connector.
-
-6) Run the master test script
-    sh runtests.sh
-
-   You will see a lot of error messages and and FAILED text for anything that
-   fails.
-
-   You can also run the individual tool test scripts (testh5ls.sh, etc.).
