"""
  This program generates random text that matches a given regex-pattern.
  The pattern is given via sys.argv and the generated text is passed to
  the binary 'bin/test_rand' to check if the generated text also matches
  the regex-pattern in the C implementation.
  The exit-code of the testing program, is used to determine test success.

  This script is called by the Makefile when doing 'make test'
