Specifying Known Failures Lists With kfl

# Specifying Known Failures Lists With `kfl`

The ability to specify a known failures list is enabled in the configuration editor interview, as described in Creating Reports in the Graphical User Interface User's Guide. In the user interface, if the value for "Specify a Known Failures List?" is Yes and you have specified KFLs, they become the default values, and are used when you create reports using Reports > Create New Report or using the `-writeReports` HTML report type.

The `-kfl` option enables you to change the default list of KFL files from the command line.

You can call the KFL file(s) as follows. Multiple files are separated by spaces:

    java -jar ... -kfl foo.kfl bar.kfl path/foobar.kfl -runtests

Note, because a space is a separator, file path arguments cannot contain spaces (for example, `C:\Program Files\myconfig\foobar` will not work).

See Command-Line Overview for a detailed description of the command line structure. See Formatting a Command for descriptions and examples of other command formats that you can use.
