.SH NAME
testplugin - a Netscape Plug-in test bed utility
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B testplugin
src=\fIurl\fP
[width=\fIwidth\fP]
[height=\fIheight\fP]
[\fIname\fP=\fIvalue\fP] ...
.SH DESCRIPTION
This program is designed to provide a means for testing Netscape Navigator
UNIX plug-ins. It exercises the plug-in in a way close (I hope) to how
Navigator does, and because it is a standalone program it allows you to run
it through debugger and to use various program analysis tools.
.PP
The line-mode browser \fBwww\fP, must be in your \fBPATH\fP to be able to
use testplugin successfully.
.SH ARGUMENTS
.PP
.TP 8
.B src=\fIurl\fP
This argument specifies the source document to use. It should be of the MIME
type your plug-in is expecting since unlike within Netscape, no type checking
is done and the document is simply streamed to the plug-in.
.PP
.TP 8
.B [width=\fIwidth\fP] [height=\fIheight\fP]
These options allow to specify the plug-in window size.
.PP
.TP 8
.B [\fIname\fP=\fIvalue\fP]...
In addition to the arguments described above, any other argument can be
specified and will be passed uninterpreted to the plug-in (through the
NPP_New method).
.SH CURRENT LIMITATIONS
I've not implemented all of the "Netscape Methods", but only the ones I've
needed so far. Also the "Plug-in Methods" are not called in every possible
manner so it does not provide a 100% testing coverage.
