SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
-'perf test <options>'
+'perf test [<options>] [{list <test-name-fragment>|[<test-name-fragments>|<test-numbers>]}]'
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This command does assorted sanity tests, initially through linked routines but
also will look for a directory with more tests in the form of scripts.
+To get a list of available tests use 'perf test list', specifying a test name
+fragment will show all tests that have it.
+
+To run just specific tests, inform test name fragments or the numbers obtained
+from 'perf test list'.
