+ut command
+==========
+
+Synopsis
+--------
+
+::
+
+ ut [-r<runs>] [-f] [-I<n>:<one_test>] [-r<n>] [<suite> | 'all' [<test>]]
+ ut [-s] info
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The ut command runs unit tests written in C.
+
+suite
+ Specifies the suite to run, This can be a single suite, or a comma-separated
+ list
+
+test
+ Speciifes a particular test to run, within a suite, or all suites
+
+-f
+ Forces running of a manual test.
+
+-r <n>
+ Specifies the number of types to run each test
+
+-I <n>:<one_test>
+ Test to run after <n> other tests have run. This is used to find which test
+ causes another test to fail. If the one test fails, testing stops
+ immediately.
+
+Typically the command is run on :ref:`arch/sandbox/sandbox:sandbox` since it
+includes a near-complete set of emulators, no code-size limits, many CONFIG
+options enabled and runs easily in CI without needing QEMU. It is also possible
+to run some tests on real boards.
+
+Each test is normally run once, although those marked with `UTF_DM` are
+run with livetree and flattree where possible. To run a test more than once,
+use the `-r` flag.
+
+Manual tests are normally skipped by this command. Use `-f` to run them. See
+:ref:`develop/tests_writing:mixing python and c` for more information on manual
+tests.
+
+When running unit tests, some may have side effects which cause a subsequent
+test to break. This can sometimes be seen when using 'ut dm' or similar. To
+fix this, select the 'one' test which breaks. Then tell the 'ut' command to
+run this one test after a certain number of other tests have run. Using a
+binary search method with `-I` you can quickly figure one which test is causing
+the problem.
+
+Generally all tests in the suite are run. To run just a single test from the
+suite, provide the <test> argument.
+
+To specify a list of suites to run, <suites> can also be a comma-separated list.
+
+See :ref:`develop/tests_writing:writing c tests` for more information on how to
+write unit tests.
+
+ut all
+~~~~~~
+
+Instead of a suite name 'all' may be used to run all tests.
+
+ut info
+~~~~~~~
+
+This provides information about the total number of suites and tests. Use the
+`-s` flag to show a detailed list of suites.
