From 0eba31ef5c8913adfd103c45c32d4856f1aa85cc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lucas Bates Date: Mon, 29 Jul 2019 19:18:12 -0400 Subject: tc-testing: Clarify the use of tdc's -d option The -d command line argument to tdc requires the name of a physical device on the system where the tests will be run. If -d has not been used, tdc will skip tests that require a physical device. This patch is intended to better document what the -d option does and how it is used.
