+# Sample run-on-target script
+# This is a script that can be used as cross-execute parameter to samba
+# configuration process, running the command on a remote target for which
+# the cross-compiled configure test was compiled.
+#
+# To use:
+# ./configure \
+# --cross-compile \
+# '--cross-execute=./buildtools/example/run_on_target.py --host=<host>'
+#
+# A more elaborate example:
+# ./configure \
+# --cross-compile \
+# '--cross-execute=./buildtools/example/run_on_target.py --host=<host> --user=<user> "--ssh=ssh -i <some key file>" --destdir=/path/to/dir'
+#
+# Typically this is to be used also with --cross-answers, so that the
+# cross answers file gets built and further builds can be made without
+# the help of a remote target.
+#
+# The following assumptions are made:
+# 1. rsync is available on build machine and target machine
+# 2. A running ssh service on target machine with password-less shell login
+# 3. A directory writable by the password-less login user
+# 4. The tests on the target can run and provide reliable results
+#    from the login account's home directory. This is significant
+#    for example in locking tests which
+#    create files in the current directory. As a workaround to this
+#    assumption, the TESTDIR environment variable can be set on the target
+#    (using ssh command line or server config) and the tests shall
+#    chdir to that directory.

+    Use rsync to copy the directory containing program to run
+    INTO a destination directory on the target. An exact copy
+    of the source directory is created on the target machine,
+    possibly deleting files on the target machine which do not
+    exist on the source directory.
+
+    The idea is that the test may include files in addition to
+    the compiled binary, and all of those files reside alongside
+    the binary in a source directory.
+
+    For example, if the test to run is /foo/bar/test and the
+    destination directory on the target is /tbaz, then /tbaz/bar
+    on the target shall be an exact copy of /foo/bar on the source,
