I would like to see something like:

<testname=abort(3)>
  <test_description="Basic test for abort(3)">
  <\test_description>
  <test_location="ltp/testcases/kernel/syscalls/abort/abort01.c">
  <\test_location>
  <test_cmdfile_name="ltp/runtest/syscalls">
  <\test_cmdfile_name>
  <test_cmdfile_entry="abort01 ulimit -c 1024;abort01">
  <\test_cmdfile_entry>
  <Execute_through_commandline="ulimit -c
1024; ./ltp/testcases/bin/abort01">
  <\Execute_through_commandline>
  <Execute_through_runltp="./runltp -s abort01">
  <\Execute_through_runltp>
<\testname>

The basic idea is to include all important information as we can when we
are doing some patching on this. Let me know how others feel, and how we
can achieve this.

Subrata
