NAME

       autopkgtest-virt-null - autopkgtest null virtualisation server

SYNOPSIS

       autopkgtest [...] -- null [options]

DESCRIPTION

       autopkgtest-virt-null  provides  a  dummy autopkgtest virtualisation server which does not actually offer
       any kind of separation between host and testbed.

       Normally autopkgtest-virt-null will be invoked by autopkgtest.

       There  is  of  course  no  locking;  nothing  prevents  multiple  simultaneous  programs  from   invoking
       autopkgtest-virt-null so as to reuse the same system as a testbed.

OPTIONS

       -d | --debug
              Enables debugging output.  Probably not hugely interesting.

       --fake-capability CAPABILITY
              Advertise  CAPABILITY  in  the  list  of  capabilities,  regardless  of  whether the capability is
              implemented.  Note that this is hazardous - tests may malfunction, or even mess up the system.

              In autopkgtest 5.47 and earlier, autopkgtest-virt-null falsely advertises isolation-machine.  This
              option can be used to restore that behaviour: --fake-capability=isolation-machine.

       --retain-tmp
              Do not delete the temporary directory on exit.  When using this option  you  should  probably  set
              TMPDIR since that's where the directory is created.

INPUT, OUTPUT AND EXIT STATUS

       The  behaviour  of  autopkgtest-virt-null  is  as described by the AutomatedTesting virtualisation regime
       specification.
