We can use the test helper program "test-tool pkt-line" to test pkt-line
related functions. E.g.:
* Use "test-tool pkt-line send-split-sideband" to generate sideband
messages.
* Pipe these generated sideband messages to command "test-tool pkt-line
unpack-sideband" to test packet_reader_read() function.
In order to make a complete test of the packet_reader_read() function,
add option parser for command "test-tool pkt-line unpack-sideband".
* To remove newlines in sideband messages, we can use:
$ test-tool pkt-line unpack-sideband --chomp-newline
* To preserve newlines in sideband messages, we can use:
$ test-tool pkt-line unpack-sideband --no-chomp-newline
* To parse sideband messages using "demultiplex_sideband()" inside the
function "packet_reader_read()", we can use:
$ test-tool pkt-line unpack-sideband --reader-use-sideband
We also add new example sideband packets in send_split_sideband() and
add several new test cases in t0070. Among these test cases, we pipe
output of the "send-split-sideband" subcommand to the "unpack-sideband"
subcommand. We found two issues:
1. The two splitted sideband messages "Hello," and " world!\n" should
be concatenated together. But when we turn on use_sideband field of
reader to parse sideband messages, the first part of the splitted
message ("Hello,") is lost.
2. The newline characters in sideband 2 (progress info) and sideband 3
(error message) should be preserved, but they are both trimmed.
Will fix the above two issues in subsequent commits.
