This package provides support for «golden testing».

A golden test is an IO action that writes its result to a file. To pass the test, this output file should be identical to the corresponding «golden» file, which contains the correct result for the test.

To get started with golden testing and this library, see Introduction to golden testing.

Command-line options

To see the command-line options, run your test suite with --help. Here's an example output:
