The npt-test program
npt-test waits until it has been either notified by
npt-notify or interrupted by
a signal.
Interface
npt-test fifodir
Purpose
npt-test performs exactly the same work as
npt-wait. The only difference is that
npt-wait makes a call to the
nptrigger_wait()
function, which blocks directly; whereas npt-test tries to
connect to a
nptlistend service to achieve
the same goal. The purpose of npt-test is to test whether
the nptlistend service, if it is needed on the machine, has been set
up correctly.
