Subject: [PATCH 3/4] test: document pytest --env and --fs options
Date: Tue,  8 Jul 2025 21:35:59 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250708193600.758772-4-a.fatoum@barebox.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250708193600.758772-1-a.fatoum@barebox.org>

These two options are really useful to avoid needless typing in QEMU by
making files and environment variables available to barebox from outside.

Document them outside of the pytest --help text as well.
