This section documents the RST tools. The front-end called from the course account are the commands rst, rsta, and distrst. These in turn make use of runTests and computeMarks, which are utilities supplied by course staff in a predetermined location for each assignment and testing suite. The computeMarks command has a number of helper utilities available to it which course staff should make use of to generate output for students and to keep records: keepFile, printFile, deProcessFile and writeToMarkList.

Output can then be mailed to students with mailOut or printed out for marker feedback with printOut.
