(Report diagnostics from a file in a TAP test)
#include <tap/basic.h>
void diag_file_add(const char *file);
void diag_file_remove(const char *file);
diag_file_add() adds a log file on disk as a supplemental source of
diagnostic information for a TAP test case. file is the path to a file
that will be opened when diag_file_add() is called. Before each TAP
function call that produces output, the file will be checked for any new
lines since the previous check. If any are found, they will be output to
standard output as if they were passed to the diag() function, including
the leading # and space. This file may be called multiple times to add
multiple files.
Only complete lines ending in a newline will be output. If at the time the file is checked there is an incomplete line (no newline before end of file), that output will be deferred until a later check sees a newline. This means that any data at the end of a file without a newline will never be output.
diag_file_remove() removes a file name previously passed to diag_file_add() from the list of files checked for output. The file name must match the file name passed to diag_file_add() and need not point to the actual file (if, for example, a subsequent chdir() changed the meaning of relative file names).
None.
Zero bytes (nul characters) in the file are not supported and will result in truncated output or other strange results.
File contents in registered files are ignored if skip_all() is called, and is not output before the output of plan(). The output will appear after the first output-producing function (or a regular program exit) after plan().
