+.Sh NAME
+.Nm atf-report
+.Nd transforms the output of atf-run to different formats
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Op Fl o Ar fmt1:path1 Op .. Fl o Ar fmtN:pathN
+.Nm
+.Fl h
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+reads the output of
+.Nm atf-run
+and transforms it to different formats.
+Some of these are user-friendly and others are machine-parseable, which
+opens a wide range of possibilities to analyze the results of a test
+suite's execution.
+See
+.Sx Output formats
+below for more details on which these formats are.
+.Pp
+In the first synopsis form,
+.Nm
+reads the output of
+.Nm atf-run
+through its standard input and, if no
+.Fl o
+options are given, prints a user-friendly report on its standard
+output using the
+.Sq ticker
+format.
+If
+.Fl o
+options are provided (more than one are allowed), they specify the complete
+list of reports to generate.
+They are all generated simultaneously, and for obvious reasons, two reports
+cannot be written to the same file.
+Note that the default output is suppressed when
+.Fl o
+is provided.
+.Pp
+In the second synopsis form,
+.Nm
+will print information about all supported options and their purpose.
+.Pp
+The following options are available:
+.Bl -tag -width XoXfmtXpathXX
+.It Fl h
+Shows a short summary of all available options and their purpose.
+.It Fl o Ar fmt:path
+Adds a new output format.
+.Ar fmt
+is one of the formats described later on in
+.Sx Output formats .
+.Ar path
+specifies where the report will be written to.
+Depending on the chosen format, this may refer to a single file or to
+a directory.
+For those formats that write to a single file, specifying a
+.Sq -
+as the path will redirect the report to the standard output.
+.El
+.Ss Output formats
+The following output formats are allowed:
+.Bl -tag -width tickerXX
+.It csv
+A machine-parseable Comma-Separated Values (CSV) file.
+This file contains the results for all test cases and test programs.
+Test cases are logged using the following syntax:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+tc, duration, test-program, test-case, result[, reason]
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The
+.Sq result
+field for test cases is always one of
+.Sq passed ,
+.Sq skipped
+or
+.Sq failed .
+The last two are always followed by a reason.
+.Pp
+Test programs are logged with the following syntax:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+tp, duration, test-program, result[, reason]
+.Ed
+.Pp
+In this case, the
+.Sq result
+can be one of:
+.Sq passed ,
+which denotes test programs that ran without any failure;
+.Sq failed ,
+which refers to test programs in which one or more test cases failed;
+or
+.Sq bogus ,
+which mentions those test programs that failed to execute by some reason.
+The reason field is only available in the last case.
+.Pp
+The time required to execute each test case and test program is
+also provided.
+You should not rely on the order of the entries in the resulting output.
+.It ticker
+A user-friendly report that shows the progress of the test suite's
+execution as it operates.
+This type of report should always be redirected to a virtual terminal,
+not a file, as it may use control sequences that will make the output
+unreadable in regular files.
+.It xml
+A report contained in a single XML file.
+Ideal for later processing with
+.Xr xsltproc 1
+to generate nice HTML reports.
+.El
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+The most simple way of running a test suite is to pipe the output of
+.Nm atf-run
+through
+.Nm
+without any additional flags.
+This will use the default output format, which is suitable to most users:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+atf-run | atf-report
+.Ed
+.Pp
+In some situations, it may be interesting to get a machine-parseable file
+aside from the standard report.
+This can be done as follows:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+atf-run | atf-report -o csv:testsuite.csv -o ticker:-
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Or if the standard report is not desired, thus achieving completely silent
+operation:
+atf-run | atf-report -o csv:testsuite.csv
