So this typical line in LTP, mount02 1 TPASS : mount() failed expectedly: TEST_ERRNO=ENODEV(19): No such device would have to be transformed into, ok 1 mount02 mount() failed expectedly: TEST_ERRNO=ENODEV(19): No such device After the test number "1" in this case, looks like it's free form. It's "ok" for passed tests, and "not ok" for failed ones, and you can skip too. https://testanything.org/tap-specification.html It looks like it could be changes in lib/tst_res.c line 404 in function tst_print(). There's other components to TAP but the change above it the biggest I think. > I've started to work on this just recently.

Is this re-write a long term thing, or something your planning to complete in the next couple months?
