 testlist options
     -g group[,group...]	include tests from these groups
     -x group[,group...]	exclude tests from these groups
-    -X file		exclude individual tests
+    -X exclude_file	exclude individual tests
     -E external_file	exclude individual tests
     [testlist]		include tests matching names in testlist
+
+testlist argument is a list of tests in the form of <test dir>/<test name>.
+
+<test dir> is a directory under tests that contains a group file,
+with a list of the names of the tests in that directory.
+
+<test name> may be either a specific test file name (e.g. xfs/001) or
+a test file name match pattern (e.g. xfs/*).
+
+group argument is either a name of a tests group to collect from all
+the test dirs (e.g. quick) or a name of a tests group to collect from
+a specific tests dir in the form of <test dir>/<group name> (e.g. xfs/quick).
+
+exclude_file argument refers to a name of a file inside each test directory.
+for every test dir where this file is found, the listed test names are
+excluded from the list of tests to run from that test dir.
+
+external_file argument is a path to a single file containing a list of tests
+to exclude in the form of <test dir>/<test name>.
+
+examples:
+ check xfs/001
+ check -g quick
+ check -g xfs/quick
+ check -x stress xfs/*
+ check -X .exclude -g auto
+ check -E ~/.xfstests.exclude
