The *argv* argument can be a list of options passed to the program, with the
first element being the program name. If not specified or ``None``,
the values of :data:`sys.argv` are used.
The *testRunner* argument can either be a test runner class or an already
created instance of it. By default ``main`` calls :func:`sys.exit` with
an exit code indicating success or failure of the tests run.
The *testLoader* argument has to be a :class:`TestLoader` instance,
and defaults to :data:`defaultTestLoader`.
``main`` supports being used from the interactive interpreter by passing in the
argument ``exit=False``. This displays the result on standard output without
calling :func:`sys.exit`::
