Description Paul Eggleton 2014-06-16 11:27:05 UTC 
At the moment oe-selftest doesn't do much with the command line apart from use it to specify tests to run. This still needs to remain the primary function, however it would be a lot friendlier if it also did the following:

1) Show usage information with --help

2) Error out on any invalid options used

3) Offer the ability to list available tests

Command-line checks should be performed before any time-consuming checks on the build configuration. (I'd recommend using argparse or optparse to handle option checking.)
