SYNOPSIS¶

purity-ng [OPTION]... list|FILE|TESTNAME

DESCRIPTION¶

Purity is an interactive purity test program with a simple, user interface and datafile format. For each test, questions are printed to the your terminal, and you are prompted for an answer to the current question. At a prompt, these are your choices:

y      Answer "yes" to the question.
n      Answer "no" to the question.
b      Backup  one  question, if you answered it incorrectly, or someone is watching you take the test, and you don't (or do) want to admit a different answer.
s      Print your current score on the test you are taking.
q      Quit the test, and print the current score.
?      Print a help screen for the current prompt.

At the end of the test, your score is printed out. For most purity tests, lower scores denote more “experience” of the test material.
