| :: |
| |
| ctest_start(Model [TRACK <track>] [APPEND] [source [binary]] [QUIET]) |
| |
| Starts the testing for a given model. The command should be called |
| after the binary directory is initialized. If the 'source' and |
| 'binary' directory are not specified, it reads the |
| :variable:`CTEST_SOURCE_DIRECTORY` and :variable:`CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY`. |
| If the track is |
| specified, the submissions will go to the specified track. If APPEND |
| is used, the existing TAG is used rather than creating a new one based |
| on the current time stamp. If ``QUIET`` is used, CTest will suppress any |
| non-error messages that it otherwise would have printed to the console. |
| |
| If the :variable:`CTEST_CHECKOUT_COMMAND` variable |
| (or the :variable:`CTEST_CVS_CHECKOUT` variable) |
| is set, its content is treated as command-line. The command is |
| invoked with the current working directory set to the parent of the source |
| directory, even if the source directory already exists. This can be used |
| to create the source tree from a version control repository. |
