+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.sp
+.LP
+The \fBrun\fR command has three basic modes of operation. With neither the
+\fB-c\fR nor the \fB-w\fR option, \fBrun\fR processes the arguments provided on
+the command line, adding them to the list for this run. If a specified
+\fIpathname\fR is an executable file, it is added as a test. If a specified
+\fIpathname\fR is a directory, the behavior depends upon the \fB-g\fR option.
+If \fB-g\fR is specified, the directory is treated as a test group. See the
+section on "Test Groups" below. Without the \fB-g\fR option, \fBrun\fR simply
+descends into the directory looking for executable files. The tests are then
+executed, and the results are logged.
+
+With the \fB-w\fR option, \fBrun\fR finds tests in the manner described above.
+Rather than executing the tests and logging the results, the test configuration
+is stored in a \fIrunfile\fR which can be used in future invocations, or edited
+to modify which tests are executed and which options are applied. Options
+included on the command line with \fB-w\fR become defaults in the
+\fIrunfile\fR.
+
+With the \fB-c\fR option, \fBrun\fR parses a \fIrunfile\fR, which can specify a
+series of tests and test groups to be executed. The tests are then executed,
+and the results are logged.
+.sp
+.SS "Test Groups"
+.sp
+.LP
+A test group is comprised of a set of executable files, all of which exist in
+one directory. The options specified on the command line or in a \fIrunfile\fR
+apply to individual tests in the group. The exception is options pertaining to
+pre and post scripts, which act on all tests as a group. Rather than running
+before and after each test, these scripts are run only once each at the start
+and end of the test group.
+.SS "Test Execution"
+.sp
+.LP
+The specified tests run serially, and are typically assigned results according
+to exit values. Tests that exit zero and non-zero are marked "PASS" and "FAIL"
+respectively. When a pre script fails for a test group, only the post script is
+executed, and the remaining tests are marked "SKIPPED." Any test that exceeds
+its \fItimeout\fR is terminated, and marked "KILLED."
+
+By default, tests are executed with the credentials of the \fBrun\fR script.
+Executing tests with other credentials is done via \fBsudo\fR(1m), which must
+be configured to allow execution without prompting for a password. Environment
+variables from the calling shell are available to individual tests. During test
+execution, the working directory is changed to \fIoutputdir\fR.
+.SS "Output Logging"
+.sp
+.LP
+By default, \fBrun\fR will print one line on standard output at the conclusion
+of each test indicating the test name, result and elapsed time. Additionally,
+for each invocation of \fBrun\fR, a directory is created using the ISO 8601
+date format. Within this directory is a file named \fIlog\fR containing all the
+test output with timestamps, and a directory for each test. Within the test
+directories, there is one file each for standard output, standard error and
+merged output. The default location for the \fIoutputdir\fR is
+\fI/var/tmp/test_results\fR.
+.SS "Runfiles"
+.sp
+.LP
+The \fIrunfile\fR is an ini style configuration file that describes a test run.
+The file has one section named "DEFAULT," which contains configuration option
+names and their values in "name = value" format. The values in this section
+apply to all the subsequent sections, unless they are also specified there, in
+which case the default is overridden. The remaining section names are the
+absolute pathnames of files and direcotries, describing tests and test groups
+respectively. The legal option names are:
