This is nihtest, a testing tool for command line utilities. Tests are run in a sandbox directory to guarantee a clean separation of the test. It checks that exit code, standard and error outputs are as expected and compares the files in the sandbox after the run with the expected results.
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
Problem reports, updates or suggestions for this package should be reported with send-pr.
