+# Basic test script for checkpointing.
+#
+# Given an M5 command and an interval (in ticks), this script will:
+# 1. Run the command, dumping periodic checkpoints at the given interval.
+# 2. Rerun the command for each pair of adjacent checkpoints:
+# a. Restore from checkpoint N
+# b. Run until the timestamp of checkpoint N+1
+# c. Dump a checkpoint and end the simulation
+# d. Diff the new checkpoint with the original checkpoint N+1
+#
+# Note that '--' must be used to separate the script options from the
+# M5 command line.
+#
+# Caveats:
+#
+# - This script relies on the checkpoint options implemented in
+# configs/common/Simulation.py, so it works with commands based on
+# the se.py and fs.py scripts in configs/example, but does not work
+# directly with the existing regression tests.
+# - Interleaving simulator and program output can cause discrepancies
+# in the file position checkpoint information since different runs
+# have different amount of simulator output.
+# - Probably lots more issues we don't even know about yet.
+#
+# Examples:
+#
+# util/checkpoint-tester.py -i 400000 -- build/ALPHA_SE/m5.opt \
+# configs/example/se.py -c tests/test-progs/hello/bin/alpha/tru64/hello \
+# --output=progout --errout=progerr
+#
+# util/checkpoint-tester.py -i 200000000000 -- build/ALPHA_FS/m5.opt \
+# configs/example/fs.py --script tests/halt.sh
