xptest - test external-pager functionality

SYNOPSIS
xptest [-random seed]

DESCRIPTION
xptest(1) tests the kernel's external-pager functionality. It runs a series of tests, printing a running commentary to stdout. If it encounters an anomaly it prints a message flagged with "****".

When run in random mode, xptest randomly tries operations. It exits only when it encounters an anomaly. In addition to the normal commentary printed to stdout, it will dump to stderr a log of the last 100 operations preceding the anomaly.

xptest interprets the following options:
