This directory contains 40 test programs, divided into three
categories. In order to run them, please place in the desired directory, 
type make test and press enter. This will automatically load the test 
programs and show you the results. Next a brief description of each test
is given:

	-self_buit: Self built tests. There are five test in this directory:
		-accuracity.c : Measures timers resolution for both absolute
		and relative specs.
		-signals_bandwidth.c: Measures RTLinux POSIX.1 signals bandwidth.
		-test.c: Test timers real-time constraints. Schedules a
		set of tasks with timers + signals or with RTLinux API
		(pthread_make_periodic_np, pthread_wait_np). Also allows
		to prove timers with system clock on mode periodic and
		one shot.  
		-timers.c: Two threads programing the same timer.
		-simple_test.c: Basic test for timers API.

	-posixtestsuite: Open POSIX test suite timers tests, slightly
			 modified to run on RTLinux. This tests are divided 
			into four directories. Each one corresponding with 	
			the functionality to test (timer_create,timer_delete,
			timer_settime, timer_gettime).

	-hrt_test: Linux high resolution timers project tests, slightly modified
			to run on RTLinux.
				

In the simple directory, two simple programs showing basic
timers functionality are provided. The first one, implements periodic threads
using signals and timers, while the second uses a timers to avoid machine hang
up due to huge quantity of calculations.

The bug directory solves a bug found in time_spec_add_ns function.

Further information can be found in the README file placed in each directory.
