8.4 $TEST (Custom test command)
8.4.1 Function
The $TEST command is used for invoking a custom test command. It performs whatever function the
user specifically coded it to do.

invokes. Unless you wrote this command you probably don’t know what it is actually doing. It could
perform any function, up to crashing Hercules!
